I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook University advised by Prof. Steven Skiena.
My research interests lie in natural language processing, especially on representation learning and multilingual applications, by combining machine learning techniques and linguistics models. I have worked on neural network-based multilingual POS tagger for several languages and transfer learning of multilingual parsing, and I also work on representation learning for both units (words) and sequences (sentences).
My CV is also available.

Online Showcase I make some interesting things in the show case that can be accessible from the web. Check it out!
( * = Joint work with friends) * Crypko Next generation crypko-collectibles powered by deep generative models and consensus-based smart contracts from blockchain that attracts attention from both machine learning and blockchain communities. * MakeGirlsMoe High-quality Anime Characters Generation with Generative Adversarial Networks in Browser that attracts both community and academic attention. Deep GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) in Browser A deep GAN that generates (or dreams) images completely in browser . Pre-trained high resolution realistic image generators now run on web browser that supports WebGL, with the help of web-runnable TensorFlow.js model, Generation with Symantic Enforcement This is a Neural based five-syllable Chinese quatrain generator, faithfully following rhyme in even-numbered verses and strict patterning of tonal alternation. It is based on ideas from our Paper in ICLR 2018, RNN Language Model An PyTorch based Recurrent Neural Network Language Model.
