Summary
Zhenhao Chen is a PhD student and research scientist intern specializing in causal representation learning, NLP (especially LLMs), and video understanding, with eight years of research and engineering experience. He is currently building an LLM-based Game Copilot for Tencent’s Honors of Kings, a title with over 260M active users, while pursuing doctoral research at MBZUAI. His background spans reproducing GPT-2 and deployment work at Tianjin University—including optimization for Ascend and edge devices—and co-authoring a CVPR 2023 paper on stochastic human trajectory prediction. Comfortable bridging theory and production, he combines identifiability-driven causal methods with practical model compression and deployment skills. Based in Abu Dhabi, he describes his approach wryly as “updating my posterior probability continuously,” reflecting a data-driven, iterative mindset.
