The KI Institute congratulates PhD student Yuqicheng Zhu for being selected as a scholar spotlight by the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS). Yuqicheng joined IMPRS-IS in 2023, and he is supervised by Prof. Steffen Staab from the KI Institute and Prof. Evgeny Kharlamov from Bosch.
His doctorate focuses on “uncertainty quantification in representation learning with formal guarantees,” particularly for knowledge graph embeddings and large language models, aiming to formalize when we can trust model predictions.
Yuqicheng has authored several first-author papers at top venues including ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, AAMAS, and ISWC, with collaborative work featured in WWW and ECAI. His upcoming paper, “predicate-conditional conformalized answer sets for knowledge graph embeddings,” will be presented at ACL 2025 (see his full list of publications on his Google Scholar).
