Introduction [Google Scholar]

I have been a computational linguist at Shanghai Jiao Tong University since 2021. Previously, I worked at the Japanese National Institute of Information and Communications Technology from 2016 to 2020. I was a joint Ph.D. student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the French National Centre for Scientific Research from 2012 to 2016.

Language intelligence is a form of intelligence in which humans (and machines) learn about the outside world by reading natural language, producing highly abstract linguistic thinking, and then understanding, improving, and creating about the outside world. We aim to explore and extend the boundaries of language intelligence in the following areas:
1. Computational Linguistics: An interdisciplinary field of computer science, linguistics, cognitive science, psychology, etc.
2. Language Modeling: The mechanism and application.
3. Machine Translation: I worked on it for over ten years and will never give it up.

Language Intelligence and Computational Linguistics Lab (MT Lab)

I have always been fortunate to work with these brilliant young researchers (Previously at the Machine Translation Lab from 2017 to 2022).
