Biography

I am an Associate Professor at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen.

Before that, I received my PhD degree at University of Macau (2021), advised by Prof. Derek F. Wong and was a member of NLP2CT Lab. I was a postgraduate intern at Tsinghua NLP Group (2018), advised by Prof. Yang Liu and a research intern at Tencent AI Lab (2019-2021), advised by Dr. Zhaopeng Tu and Dr. Longyue Wang.
