Intelligent Information Service Research Lab (IISR)

Bridging LLMs, Data-centric AI, and Humanities for Practical Solutions
We develop practical and verifiable AI systems, combining Retrieval (RAG) and Cross-domain Representation Learning to solve challenges in biomedical texts, low-resource languages, and historical archives.
🇹🇼

Localized LLMs

Efficient alignment for new languages, cultural benchmarks, and low-resource adaptation.
📄 ACL / EMNLP
  • Chat Vector (Alignment)
  • TWBias (Cultural Benchmark)
  • Low-Resource (Hokkien)
🧬

Biomedical NLP

Data-centric, privacy-aware clinical text mining and evidence-grounded QA.
🏆 BioASQ Champion (6 yrs)
  • Relation Extraction
  • De-identification
