Research Interest

My research interest covers natural language processing, deep learning, knowledge representation and reasoning. Specifically, I aim at developing models that can ground and reason over external world knowledge to understand human language and communicate with humans. I am also interested in multi-modal problems like visual question answering and captioning.

I publish and serve as program committee in ACL, NAACL, EMNLP, ICLR, NeurIPS, etc. I received the WACV best-student paper honorable mention in 2021. I also received outstanding dissertation award from UCSB in June 2021. I serve as Senior Program Committee for AAAI and Area Chair for EMNLP and AACL.

I'm always looking for talented and self-motivated students. You can drop me an email to demonstrate your interest, but the final decision won't be made until I see all the applications in the system after the official deadline.
