Biography

I am a final (fourth) year Ph.D student at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Irwin King and Prof. Michael R. Lyu. Before that, I received my Bachelor degree and Mphil degree from Nanjing University in 2015 and 2017, respectively.
My research interests are mainly in Natural Language Processing and Deep Learning Techniques, focusing on tasks like representation learning, conversation analysis, and machine translation. Particularly, I am interested in data analysis and exploitation on NLP tasks for more effective training of the models, thereby improving performance.

Conversation analysis: emotion recognition, pre-training on unlabeled conversations, multimodal learning
Machine translation: inactive examples in bilingual data, uncertain monolingual data for self-training
