My research interest is in structured prediction and latent variable models. Check out my recent work or email me.
I am a Ph.D. student in the ILCC at the University of Edinburgh, under the supervision of Prof. Ivan Titov and Mirella Lapata. I am also a member of the Edinburgh NLP. Before moving to Edinburgh, I spent three wonderful years in the SIST at ShanghaiTech University and worked with Prof. Kewei Tu.
