Welcome! I’m a PhD student in Computer Science at University College London, supervised by Prof. Sebastian Riedel and Dr. Pontus Stenetorp in the UCL NLP Group. Before joining UCL, I received my research-based master degree from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, advised by Prof. Qiang Yang.
Research Interest
My research interest lies at the intersection of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Deep Learning. My current focus lies in Question Answering, Knowledge Base, and some related knowledge-intensive NLP tasks.
