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.
