Westlake University

I am a first-year PhD student at WestlakeNLP, where I am supervised by Professor Yue Zhang. Prior to this, I was a researcher at WeChatAI, Tencent, where I worked with Dr. Fandong Meng. I obtained my master’s degree in Computer Science from Tsinghua University, where I was supervised by Professor Jian Li and Professor Ying Liu. I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.

My research interest includes natural language generations, especially language models and machine translation.
