About Me

I am a second-year PhD student at Computer Science and Engineering department of The Ohio State University. I am fortunate to work with my advisor Professor Wei Xu. Before that, I obtained my M.S. degree in Computer Science from University of Virginia and my B.S. degree from the School of Electrical and Information Engineering at Tianjin University.

I mainly work on Natural Language Processing (NLP). I am interested in semantic understanding and crowd-sourcing annotation. Previously, I also did some research on representation learning for NLP.
