About

I'm a second-year CS master's student at Columbia University. I'm also a graduate research assistant at Columbia NLP Group, focusing on computational language model for social context, supervised by Prof. Smaranda Muresan. Previously, I obtained my bachelor's degree from Nanjing University. During my undergraduate study, I had the fortune to work in LAMDA Group with Prof. Ming Li, and work in Berkeley AI Research with Prof. Trevor Darrell and Prof. Fisher Yu.

My research interests lie in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning Application.
