Short Bio

Hi, I am a final-year master student from the School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at Peking University (PKU). I work on natural language processing and machine learning, under the supervision of Prof. Xu Sun. My research interests mainly lie in deep learning and natural language generation, especially text summarization, machine translation, and machine commenting.
