My name is Yubo Ma, a third-year Ph.D. candidate in School of Computer Science and Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). I am co-advised by Prof. Aixin Sun and Prof. Yixin Cao. I received my B.Eng. degree in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University in 2020. My research interests lie in event-centric information extraction (including event detection and event argument extraction) and tool-augmented large language models.
