👋 Hi, I’m Zhanli Li (李展利), currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Digital Economy (2023-2027) at the Wenlan School of Business, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law.

🎓 From 2024 to February 2025, I am honored to be mentored by Prof. Zichao Yang (杨子超) of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law. Our research focuses on machine learning, tabular data and applied microeconometrics. Currently, I am an intern working with Prof. Yixuan Cao (曹逸轩) at the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and PAI TECH (庖丁科技), with the advanced PDF parsing model (PDFlux) developed by Prof. Ping Luo (罗平)’s team, we are really committed to building a multi-document Q&A Agent.

💡 With the great success of LLMs, there is potential to accomplish many useful downstream applications. However, numerous hallucinations and security issues exist within this landscape. I hope to realize more trustworthy and secure downstream applications. I hope these applications being training-free (or requiring minimal parameter tuning), with underlying theories that are both intuitive and rigorously sound.

🎯 I am eager to pursue a PhD in:

• Computer Science
• Data Science
• Statistics
• Fintech

💬 If you have any ideas about my work or potential collaborations, feel free to reach out via email: lizhanli@stu.zuel.edu.cn.
