I am Shengkun Ma (马胜坤), now an intern in Knowledge Engineering Group (KEG), Tsinghua University, supervised by Prof. Juanzi Li. Before that, I graduated from the School of Computer Science at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) with my master’degree, supervised by Prof. Bo Cheng. Previously, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from the School of Computer Science and Technology at Xidian University (XDU).

I am doing some research work about Machine Reading Comprehension (MRC). My general research interests include Information Extraction, Natural Language Understanding and Evaluation of Large Language Models.
