About me

I'm currently a computer science PHD student, my research interest spans from natural language processing to deep learning. My main focus is on natural language generation system, program synthesis, task-oriented dialogue, and visual captioning. Besides, I'm also broadly interested in bayesian inference, and model compression. I am actively looking for Machine Learning internship in USA. If you are interested in my background, please do not hesitate to contact me!
