Summary
Jinming Li is a PhD candidate in Statistics at the University of Michigan with eight years of experience applying statistical and deep learning methods to NLP, recommender systems, and knowledge-graph QA. As a graduate student research assistant and former teaching assistant, he blends rigorous research with clear pedagogy across applied regression, computational methods, and data analysis. Industrial internships at Amazon and SIG exposed him to production recommender architectures, GPT-2–based NLP, and quantitative research workflows, including a published query-generation framework for personalized search. His early work at USTC built Chinese-language knowledge graphs and QA systems, reflecting a long-standing interest in connecting human cognition and deep learning. Based in Ann Arbor, he pairs academic depth with hands-on engineering, often asking the practical question behind model design: can we learn deep learning better by understanding the human brain?
