Biography

Currently I am a Ph. D. candidate. I received my B.Sc. degree in Computer Science in Jun. 2006 from Nanjing University. I was admitted to graduate school in Sep. 2006, without entrance examination. And two years later, I was granted a master-doctor-through program and became a Ph.D. candidate. I am a member of NLP Group since undergraduate in Sep. 2005, supervised by Prof. Jiajun Chen.

During my Ph. D. study, I spent 11 months (from Oct. 2007 to Aug. 2008) as visiting student in NLC group, MSRA. I worked with Long Jiang in Chinese Couplet project for the first six months, and then switched to SMT team working with Mu Li, Henry Li and Dongdong Zhang. I also spent 12 months as a visiting student in InterACT lab, LTI, CMU, working with Prof. Stephan Vogel.

Research Interests

My research interests include Statistical Machine Translation, Coreference Resolution, Information Retrieval, Information Extraction, etc. I'm quite interested in using machine learning techniques to solve complicated NLP problems. Currently, I mainly focus on the following topics.

 Word alignment models and evaluation metrics. I'm trying to make word alignment more suitable for following SMT processes such as phrase extraction. Also, I'm trying supervised and semi-supervised methods to improve word alignment results.

 Check out more details about my research experiences and projects.
