Bio
I am an applied scientist at Amazon. I am also a final year PhD candidate in Computer Science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Suma Bhat. Prior to UIUC, I received my bachelor degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Research Interest
My interests lie broadly in the areas of natural language processing and machine learning, especially the processing of low-resource languages including non-compositional languages and medical languages. I have been working on data augmentation methods and data efficient methods for text generation, paraphrasing generation and text classification related to non-compositional languages and medical languages.
