Building FinRAG: Evidence-Grounded Retrieval for Long Annual Reports
A research story about turning 15 years of annual-report PDFs into an auditable benchmark for retrieval, GraphRAG, failure recovery, and grounded question answering.
Foundations + Research
A bilingual knowledge base on mathematics, statistics, machine learning, NLP, LLMs, model evaluation, and applied AI research. The goal is simple: make the foundations reusable, then connect them to real experiments.
Foundations
This track is where existing high-quality resources become my own explanations, notes, examples, and interview-ready mental models.
Linear algebra, calculus, optimization, graphs, and representation spaces explained through ML and NLP examples.
Probability, distributions, confidence intervals, bootstrap testing, hypothesis tests, and uncertainty in evaluation.
Splits, generalization, model selection, cross-validation, losses, regularization, and practical training workflows.
Tokenization, embeddings, Transformers, fine-tuning, prompting, sequence models, and language-specific evaluation.
Experiment repositories, config-driven pipelines, logging, annotation sheets, demos, and reproducible analysis.
Research & Applications
This track avoids boxing the blog into one thesis topic. It groups research by capability: building, evaluating, explaining, retrieving, and applying AI systems.
Machine translation, multilingual NLP, low-resource adaptation, terminology, domain adaptation, and language variation.
Metrics, benchmark design, statistical testing, ablations, error analysis, human evaluation, and robustness.
Interpretability, bias analysis, attribution, model auditing, SHAP/LIME, Shapley values, and controlled evaluation.
Information retrieval, RAG, long documents, graph retrieval, evidence grounding, and document intelligence.
Data pipelines, classification, forecasting, information extraction, deployment, product demos, and applied analytics.
Posts may be in English, Chinese, or bilingual. Foundations posts often start from strong public resources; research posts connect those foundations to my own experiments.
