About me

Starting from Sep. 2017, I'm a CS PHD student in Computer Science Department of University of California, Santa Barbara. I'm really honored to be supervised by both Prof. William Wang and Prof. Xifeng Yan. My research interests lie in natural language processing and deep learning. Primarily, I work on sequence-to-sequence model, knowledge graph reasoning, and visual captioning. Secondarily, I'm broadly interested in task-oriented dialogue, bayesian inference, and model compression. I am actively looking for Machine Learning/ Data Science summer internship in USA. If you are interested in my background, please do not hesitate to contact me!
