About Me

Hi, I am Huiqi Zou, an incoming PhD student working under the guidance of Prof. Weiyan Shi and Prof. Yanzhi Wang at Northeastern University. I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University, where I completed a thesis under the supervision of Prof. Ziang Xiao.
Previously, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence Stream) from City University of Hong Kong, where I completed my final year project under the supervision of Prof. Linqi Song.

Research Interests

My research interest lies in natural language processing (NLP) and human-computer interaction (HCI), especially in the field of interactive evaluation. I am currently fascinated by the following research questions:

My ultimate goal is to build interactive systems for more engaging human-computer communication and transition from static evaluation methods to more flexible, task-driven assessments that capture the diverse scenarios in which models are deployed.
