Short Bio
I am currently a PostDoc at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), supervised by Prof. Dacheng Tao (IEEE/ACM Fellow).
I received my Ph.D. from the School of Computer Science, Wuhan University. I was a research intern at JD Explore Academy.
I have authored or co-authored over 20 papers at top conferences and international journals, including ACL, EMNLP, COLING, IEEE TKDE, IEEE TASLP and etc. My work has earned several honors, including the 2022 WAIC SAIL Award (highest honor at World AI Conference), the 2022 JD Technology Golden Award (highest tech award at JD.com Inc.), and an ACL Best Paper Nomination.
I won the general language understanding (GLUE) and more difficult language understanding (SuperGLUE) challenges.
I was supported by the Fundamental Research Project for Young Professional from NSFC (首批国自然博士生基金, PR) and, was supported by the Youth Talents Support Project - Doctoral Student Special Program (首届中国科协青年人才托举工程-博士生专项, PR).
I was selected into Huawei Young Talents Program.
I actively serve the community as an Area Chair for several NLP conferences, including ACL2026 and EACL2026.
