Hi! I’m Effy, you can also call me 李雪 [lǐ xuě]. I am currently a PhD student at University of Amsterdam in INDE lab, supervised by Prof. Paul Groth and Dr. Jan-Christoph Kalo. I recently did an internship at MotherDuck on LLMs for Data Management. Previously I was an AI resident at Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK. Before that I did my Masters’ in Univeristy of Edinburgh.

My PhD topic on Knowlege Graph Construction from Conversational Data. Specifically, I look into how can we better utilizing (large) language models to extract information such as entities and relations, and furthermore, making (large) language models more data-efficient, robust and adaptable. I am also interested in efficiently using LLMs for Data Management. My PhD research is funded and situated in a NWO project IN-SIGHT.it.

I am originally from China and have lived in the UK and the Netherlands. When I am not in front of my laptop, you can often find me bouldering (in completely beginner level), cycling or drinking coffee (like everyone else :D).
