Biography

I am an associate professor at School of Information Science and Engineering, Yunnan University. Before joining Yunnan University, I worked as Senior Applied Scientist at Tencent from Sep. 2021 to Jan. 2023. I received my Ph.D. degree from University of Edinburgh, UK in May 2021, working on semantic parsing and text generation (Ph.D. thesis). I interned at Google Research and Allen Institute for AI (AI2) during my PhD study. Before starting my Ph.D. study, I worked as research assistant at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), Singapore on syntactic parsing from Apr. 2015 to Aug. 2017. I received my M.Sc. degree and B.Sc. degree from Beijing Jiaotong University, China in June 2008 and March 2012, respectively, working on statistical machine translation between Japanese and Chinese.

Research Interests

My research interests include computational linguistics, natural language processing and deep learning. I serve as reviewer for journals such as Computational Linguistics, ACM Transactions on Asian and Low Resource Language Information Processing, IEEE Transactions on Big Data, Information Science, ISA Transactions. I am also PC member for conferences such as AAAI, IJCAI, ACL, NAACL, EACL, EMNLP and COLING. I am a co-chair of the student research workshop in ACL (2020), and the area chairs of COLING (2022).
