Bio

I am an Associate Professor at the School of Information Sciences, Beijing Language and Culture University. I graduated from the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University, where I was advised by Prof. Maosong Sun and worked in the Tsinghua NLP Group. My main research interests are artificial intelligence, natural language processing and AI for Education. I received CCL 2022 Best Paper Award and CCL 2023 Best Paper Award.
