Zeming Dong

I am an Algorithm Researcher at China Electronics Corporation (CEC), Beijing, China. Prior to that, I was a research associate (2025) at the University of Luxembourg, working with Prof. Mike Papadakis and Prof. Maxime Cordy. I have received my Ph.D. degree (2024) from Kyushu University in Japan, under the supervision of Prof. Jianjun Zhao, my M.E. degree (2018) at Yamaguchi University, advised by Prof. Shinya Matsufuji, and my B.E. degree (2015) at Yancheng Institute Of Technology.

I also have industrial research experience from an internship at NTT Laboratories in Tokyo, Japan, where I worked on applied research at the intersection of AI and software engineering.

My overall research goal is to make more reliable and intelligent AI systems, addressing challenges in both the model lifecycle and the application ecosystem in the real world. This involves improving the generalization and robustness to correctly detect in-distribution data and learn out-of-distribution data with novel structures and categories.

Currently, I am driven to deeply understand how large language models (LLMs) work, when LLMs fail, and effectively align them with needs from the real world.
