About Me

My research interest is statistical machine translation and machine learning.

From July 2013, I work as a Research Associate in USC/ISI, supervised by Prof. Kevin Knight.

From November 2011 to May 2013, I was a Research Associate in University of Sheffield, working with Dr. Trevor Cohn.

I got my ph.D. in Institute of Computing Techology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in July 2011, supervised by Prof. Qun Liu.

From Oct. 2010 to Jan, 2011, I was an intern in Microsoft Research Asia and my director mentor was Prof. Ming Zhou and my mentor was Dr. Dongdong Zhang.
