Xi(Sean) Chen 陈熙

Hi! I am a final year PhD candidate in computer science at University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass), with advice from Przemyslaw Grabowicz. I also work closely with Brendan O'Connor (UMass), Ethan Zuckerman (MIT&UMass), Scott Hale (Oxford), and David Jurgens (UMich). During internships, I led research that resulted in publications with Amazon AGI Foundation, UCLA, and Zhipu AI (Chinese OpenAI) under the guidance of Jie Tang (Tsinghua).

My research is pioneering event evolution within textual media graph at global scale , with interdisciplinary study of LLM training, machine learning, information retrieval, natural language processing, network science, and social science.

My curiosity links to philosophy, psychology, fine arts, economy, and politics. In leisure time, I enjoy playing tennis and strategy games. I ranked global top50 of Autochess (50/millions, a world-class strategy game for playing DOTA on chess table).
