About Me

My general interests include artificial intelligence, deep learning, and natural language processing. I am particularly interested in the following fields:

  • Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing

  • Conversational AI (Dialog systems, conversational agents, QA, reading comprehension, etc.)

  • Language Generation or Text Generation (long text, story, data-to-text etc.)

  • Sentiment Understanding, Sentiment/Emotion Analysis, Opinion Mining

  • NLP Applications (Extraction, matching, reasoning, etc.)


I was awarded as Distinguished Young Scholars of National Science Foundation in 2021, and supported by NSFC key projects. 

I am leading a research group named Conversational AI (CoAI, GitHub link), and my group is developing a dialog system toolkit, ConvLab (collaboration with Microsoft, GitHub link). Some research highlights are as follows: 

Recent news

Recruitment

I am recruiting highly self-motivated and hardworking students, post doctors, algorithm engineers, and system developers.

For PhD students and interns, you are expected to have good mathematics and programming skills since computer science is essentially a MATH science.

For algorithm engineers and system developers, you are expected to have experiences in developing NLP algorithms and systems, with good project management and programming skills.

I am also welcome international visiting students, and I have successfully supervised students from Italy, Switzerland, and France. But, you have to be prepared to do good research here or develop useful systems or tools.

I also supervised and led many undergraduates to do research, many of who had published papers on premier conferences such as ACL, AAAI, IJCAI, etc. Here are my thoughts on how undergraduates can make successful research

If you enjoy doing challenging research and want to devote your career to research, do not hesitate to contact me.
