Yu-An Liu (刘雨桉)

I am a third-year Ph.D. student at Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. I am a member of CAS Key Lab of Web Data Science and Technology. My research interests lie in the robustness of Information Retrieval (IR), with a special focus on adversarial and out-of-distribution perspectives.

Contact me via email if you have any interest in discussing/working/cooperating with me.

Highlight

• Curated lists of awesome papers
  • Robustness, Adversarial Attacks and Defenses for IR
  • Information Retrieval in the Age of Large Language Model
  • Awesome Papers for RAG
