About
I am currently a researcher at Social Computing Group in Microsoft Research Asia. I received my Ph.D. and B.S. degrees both from the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Tsinghua University in 2021 and 2016, respectively. My research interest is Natural Language Generation (NLG), which mainly covers:
- Responsible NLG (e.g., debiasing and interpretability in NLG);
- Creative NLG (e.g., automatic generation of literary and artistic text, like poetry and story);
- Intelligent Writing (using NLG methods to assist and empower human writing).
As the leading contributor, I developed the online classical Chinese poetry generation system Jiuge (九歌) (V1.0~V3.0) at Tsinghua University. I have published some academic papers on top-tier international conferences, including AAAI, IJCAI, ACL, EMNLP and CoNLL. I also serve as a program committee member for several conferences such as ACL, AAAI, NLPCC and CCL.
