Welcome!

Hi there! I’m Jinglin Jian (简靖琳), a recent master graduate from UIUC. I’m thrilled to have been admitted to the PhD program at Scripps Research Institute by the beautiful ocean 🏖️ at San Diego, CA. Since 2023, I studied at the School of Information Sciences at UIUC, where I had the opportunity to work with Professor Haohan Wang. Previously, I received a bachelor’s degree in a computer-related field from Beijing Normal University, where I contributed as a research assistant in Professor Jingjing Zhang’s lab. Additionaly, out of personal interest, I also earned a second bachelor’s degree in Economics from Peking University.

GeoCM: Exploring Consistency Models and EGNNs for Molecular 3D Structure Prediction

Ruibo Hou, Jinglin Jian, Dian Zhou

Developed a self-supervised model based on the Equivariant Graph Neural Networks (EGNN) and Consistency Models (CM) to predict molecular 3D structures.

Patient Outcome Predictions via A Multimodal Lan- guage Model for Electronic Health Records

Zihan Li, Jinglin Jian, Chundian Li, Jinxia Yao, Jin Chen, Yang Zhang

Early prediction of mortality risk and hospital length of stay is critical. We propose a multimodal framework that integrates full-text clinical note embeddings and time-stamped physiological data to jointly model patient outcomes.

Toward a Team of AI-made Scientists for Scientific Discovery from Gene Expression Data

Haoyang Liu, Yijiang Li, Jinglin Jian, Yuxuan Cheng, Jianrong Lu, Shuyi Guo, Jinglei Zhu, Mianchen Zhang, Miantong Zhang, Haohan Wang

ML can discover disease-predictive genes from gene expression data. We introduced the Team of AI-made Scientists (TAIS), a LLM-based framework for automatic streamlining ML analysis. TAIS consists of simulated roles, including a project manager, data engineer, and domain expert.

"Which Animal Would You Like to See on Your Flashcards?" Designing Visual Aids Together with Kids Using GIMs

Yiqi Xiao and Jinglin Jian

Visual aids enhance children’s learning. Educational theories emphasize student agency. We developed a platform based on image generative models, specifically tailored for children with autism.

The Impact of Productive Failure on Learning Performance and Cognitive Load: Using Hypervideo to Facilitate Online Interactions

Xiaojie Niu, Jingjing Zhang, Kate M. Xu, Xuan Wang

Productive failure is an instructional approach that uses students’ cognitive conflicts to enhance their learning. This experimental study investigated the effect of productive failure in a hypervideo environment.

Semi-automatic Knowledge Graph Construction

Jinglin Jian (Advisor: Prof. Qinhua Zheng)

An interactive system was designed and implemented, enabling domain experts to collaborate with AI models to create educational knowledge graphs (KG) from unstructured text (i.e. lecture transcripts).
