Yuan He (In Chinese: 何源)
Department of Computer Science
University of Oxford
Hi! I am Yuan He, a PhD candidate in Computer Science, supervised by Professor Ian Horrocks and Professor Bernardo Cuenca Grau at the University of Oxford. My primary research interests lie in the area of neural-symbolic AI. In my PhD, I have been working on a range of ontology engineering tasks including ontology alignment, completion, and embeddings. I also have a NLP background mainly studying language models, and a general mathematical background. I am now interested in constructing geometric space for knowledge representation.
I am developing and maintaining a Python package, DeepOnto, which is associated with all my PhD works.
