Research:

Machine Comprehension:

Machine Comprehension is one of the primary goals of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and natural language understanding. The task is to read one or set of document and answer questions. Machine comprehension demands the ability of casual reasoning, context association, event extraction and world knowledge, etc.
LANGUAGE IS THE HIGH LEVEL INTELLEGENCE. COMPREHENSION IS AN ABILITY, NOT AN PROCESS.

Natural Language Processing:

My research on Natural Language Processing (NLP) are focus on question answering, relation pattern extraction and text semantic hashing.

Machine Learning

Machine Learning has been explored exhaustive since the era of information and big data, My research on this domain are focus on attention based Recurrent Neural Networks and modeling sequence procedure, spectral clustering.

About Me:

I was born in September 30th, 1991 in Xinyang (信阳), a beautiful city in the southernmost He'nan province, China.

Hobbies:

FIA Formula One World Championship: Every man seeks the passion of speed, no exceptions for me. I started to watch F1 games when i was only 8 or 9 years old, at that time Ferrari was in the dominant position and Michael Schumach and Rubens Barrichello is the symbol of champion. After Michael's retirement from this match my time spend on F1 is less and less.
Music: I like listening music, no specific style of music is focused. Jay Chou (周杰伦) is my favorite singer, his songs accompany with me when I was only a child. There are also many other singers that feed my appetite: such as [POP] David Tao (陶喆), Jolin Tsai (蔡依林), Fish Leong (梁静茹), Big Bang. [FREESTYLE] Jay-Z, Slim Shaddy, AR (刘夫洋) [ROCK&ROLL] Jian Cui (崔健), Bee Gees, The Rolling Stones, Guns And Roses, Led Zeppelin (IMO, the 'Stairways to heaven' can rank top of the music in history.)
Basketball: Basketball is so popular in my generation and i start playing basketball when I was only a 6 years old boy, my position in the court is Shooting Guard or Small Forward. I like watching NBA since Michael Jordan's second retirement from the league, My favorite players is in the head picture of this page, it is not overstate that i spend my years before 18 with these guys. After Kobe's retirement (due to the end of 2015-2016 regular season) Andrew Wiggins is my favorite player in this Association.
Chinese Traditional Culture: Chinese civilization of Huaxia spans over 5 thousands years and as one of our Chinese people i am so proud of the brilliant culture in our history. Song Ci is my favorite genre of CTC, I like Congjia Li (李煜)'s works most of all. Some of my maladroit poems can be found here.
Reading: I like reading every kinds of books, especially novel, As our Henan province locates the capital city of Song dynasty, so reading Song's history book is really interesting for me. I like read science fiction such as The Dairy of Robbing Tomb, Three Dody and Asimov's The Robot series. Among all the books i have read, the production of Xiaobo Wang (王小波) is my favorite. And his Era Trilogy is my top recommendation.
