I'm a fourth-year PhD student in the College of Computer Science and Technology at Zhejiang University in China. My advisors are Prof. Xiaofei He and Prof. Deng Cai.
My research interests fall in the general area of and applications of natural language processing (NLP), especially the recent developments in transfer learning, common sense reasoning, representation learning to work towards the goal of the combination of language understanding and generation. In May 2017, our proposed model (MEMEN) achieved the second place on the leaderboard of the Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD).
