Zirui Pang (庞梓瑞)

I am currently a research assistant at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) campus (HKUST-GZ), under the supervision of Jiaheng Wei (魏嘉珩). At the same time, I am a master’s student at UIUC, currently pursuing my Master of Science degree while doing an internship. My graduate coursework focuses on Data Science and Finance.

My current research interests revolve around:

  1. Noisy Labels: Investigating methods to identify noisy labels (incorrect or missing labels) in various datasets (images, text, audio).
  2. LLM Unlearning: Exploring techniques to make large language models “forget” certain learned information.

Beyond these research endeavors, I am also exploring the potential of integrating LLM technology with the financial sector.

During my studies at UIUC, I was a researcher at the Irisk Lab, where I participated in and led a project that used machine learning models to help businesses assess risks.

I have a deep passion for music and enjoy the pleasure it brings me in my leisure time. I previously had a long-term collaboration with the Choir of Central University of Finance and Economics.
