Research Interests

My research interests lie in natural language processing and large language models. I am currently a master's student at the University of International Business and Economics, supervised by Professor Dongyuan Lu. My research focuses on large language models, such as LLM-based agent, LLM finetuning, comparative analysis of industry economic texts based on LLMs and so on.

Large language models are my prospective research direction. I have a strong interest in fine-tuning LLM for specific domains, prompt engineering, dialogue strategies, personalized evaluation, application development, and other aspects related to LLM. I have been actively involved in various open-source projects related to LLM and have gained some experience.

    Research Experience
    A Neural-Ensemble Learning Method for Migration Prediction Based on Culinary Taste Data in China
  • Accepted by SCI Journal of Nonlinear and Convex Analysis
  • Authors: Zou Yuheng, Huang Yicheng, Yan Chengxin, La Lei
  • Abstract: Population migration is an important problem related to national economic and social development, and migration data can be applied to research in many fields. But population loss often puts huge pressure on local governments, so migration data are not disclosed in many cases. Most of the existing migration prediction models are based on non open source data, when other researchers want to apply existing population migration prediction models to carry out their own prediction tasks, they often find that they cannot obtain the same data source. This paper proposes a Neural-Ensemble learning method for migration prediction based on taste data in China. The whole method can be divided into three parts. First, classify the restaurants into different cuisines, calculate the taste of each cuisine based on the recipe data and then obtain the taste matrix of China. In this step, we propose a method for restaurant classification called Neural-Ensemble Classification, which combines the BERT and dictionary matching. Then we construct a Markov Chain to predict the vector of migration at the same time with restaurant data based on the historical migration data. Finally, we build a prediction model based on the LightGBM, which uses the taste matrix as input and the vector of migration as output. Compared with existing models, this model can use open data to achieve the prediction accuracy no lower than existing models.

    • A Comparative Study of China And the United States' Digital Economy Policies Based on Cross-lingual Mode
  • Accepted by Chinese Core Conference SMP 2023
  • Authors: Zou Yuheng, Lu Dongyuan
  • Abstract: In the context of escalating Sino-American strategic competition, a comparative study of Chinese and the USA digital economy policies bears significant strategic value. Traditional methods of policy comparison are limited by cost, can ’t solve this problem well. This paper focuses on the contrast between digital economy policies in China and th e USA, proposing a resolution framework based on a cross-language model. This framework enables the comparison of digital economy policy environments in both countries based on massive policy data and further suggests policy recommendations for the develop ment of the digital economy. This paper offers a solution for comparing policy environments across different political systems, providing a comprehensive and objective portrayal of the disparities in digital economy policy environments. Concurrently, it also brings a fresh perspective to policy comparison research.

    • Why Guests Write Negative Comments for Budget Hotels：Research Based on Aspect Extraction
  • Accepted by SCI Journal of Nonlinear and Convex Analysis
  • Authors: La Juanjuan, La Lei, Zou Yuheng
  • Abstract: Negative comments reflect customer dissatisfaction. Identifying this dissatisfaction is of high significance to improve the hotel industry. At present, the mining of negative comments mainly focuses on luxury hotels. In fact, budget hotels occupy a large market share. This paper proposes a method for online comment extraction in the hotel field. The method realizes weakly-supervised learning based on BiLSTM and CRF and can further improve the extraction performance by using a labeled open dataset in the hotel domain. The real-world application of the proposed method reveals the dissatisfaction of economy hotel customers mainly focuses on the price, noise, service, and cleanliness of facilities. Experimental results also show that the proposed method has a higher F1 score in the supervised and weakly-supervised situations than the control methods. It is a powerful tool for managers and researchers in the hospitality industry and can support many downstream applications.
