About me

Jingqing Zhang (张敬卿) is the technical co-founder and Head of AI at Pangaea Data. His focus is to build an AI-driven product to characterize patients and improve patient outcomes. His team is hiring: openings. He is also a Research Associate at Data Science Institute, Imperial College London. Prior to this, he obtains his PhD degree in Computing from Imperial College London under the supervision of Prof. Yi-Ke Guo. He received his BEng degree in Computer Science and Technology from Tsinghua University. His research interest includes Natural Language Processing, Text Mining, Data Mining and Deep Learning, especially their applications in healthcare.

Activities

  • [05/2022] I will present with my colleagues about our work to support oncologists to create research-quality genomic data from unstructured clinical notes with 97\% in a privacy preserving manner at Bio-IT 2022. more
  • [03/2022] I will present with my colleagues about our work to support oncologists to find more cancer patients at risk of cachexia at HIMSS 2022. more
  • [09/2021] Our paper about detection of contextual synonyms for phenotyping will publish at EMNLP 2021 paper. The ICU use case of the paper is also available on arxiv paper.
  • [06/2020] PEGASUS, a pre-training model tailored for abstractive text summarization which achieves state-of-the-art on 12 datasets, is now public (including code and checkpoints). This work is completed together with my excellent colleagues during my internship at Google Research, Brain Team. PEGASUS is accepted by ICML 2020.
