Siwei Wu

I am an incoming 2024 Fall PhD in the Manchester NLP group, fortunately, supervised by Prof. Chenghua Lin. Now, I am interning at the Institute for Intelligent Computing (通义千问) of Alibaba.

My research interests lie at AIGC including VLMs, music generation, information retrieval, multimodal retrieval, and RAG I don't want to restrict my research direction and I enjoy doing jobs in meaningful fields.

SciMMIR: Benchmarking Scientific Multi-modal Information Retrieval
Siwei Wu, Yizhi Li, Kang Zhu, et al.
ACL 2024 findings
Paper / Code

To bridge this information retrieval gap in the scientific domain, this work develops a specialised scientific MMIR (SciMMIR) benchmark by leveraging open-access paper collections to extract data relevant to the scientific domain.

Dense-ATOMIC: Towards Densely-connected ATOMIC with High Knowledge Coverage and Massive Multi-hop Paths (* ACL 2023 Outstanding Paper Award)
Xiangqing Shen, Siwei Wu, Rui Xia.
ACL 2023
Paper / Code

This work mainly solves the bipartite graph properties of commonsense knowledge graph ATOMIC, mines potential multiple paths in ATOMIC, and builds a more complete knowledge graph Dense-ATOMIC.

Commonsense Knowledge Graph Completion Via Contrastive Pretraining and Node Clustering
Siwei Wu, Xiangqing Shen, Rui Xia.
ACL 2023 findings
Paper / Code

This work alleviates the problems of edge sparsity and nodes redundancy in the commonsense knowledge graph, and proposes a new commonsense knowledge graph completion framework.
