Hi, I am Jiacheng Xu, a research scientist at Salesforce AI Research, where I work with Yingbo Zhou on Code LLM.
I recently passed my Ph.D. defense from the
Department of Computer Science at the UT Austin.
I worked in the Text Analysis, Understanding, and Reasoning Group under Greg Durrett.
My research focuses on natural language processing and machine learning, specifically the area of text generation.
Before I came to UT Austin, I obtained my bachelor's degree from
Fudan University in 2017.
From 2015 to 2017, I was a member of FudanNLP, advised by Prof.
Xipeng Qiu.
