Biography

I am currently a professor in School of Computer Science & Technology at Soochow University. I received my PhD degree from Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2008. Before joining Soochow University in 2013 as an associate professor, I was a research scientist in Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore. My research interests include machine translation, cross-lingual summarization, parsing. I broadly serve in the program committees of major conferences of ACL, AAAI, IJCAI, EMNLP, COLING, and serve as a member of the committee of machine translation, Chinese Information Processing Society of China.
