Research Interests
Machine learning and feature engineering for natural language processing (NLP). Automatic word sens
e disambiguation; clustering semantically coherent words and automatic acquisition of large-scale semantic taxonomies. NLP applications to information retrieval, information extraction, machine translation and bioinformatics.
Research Experience
Department of Computer and Information Science, University of Pennsylvania
Ph.D. Candidate        2001 – 2006
High performance supervised word sense disambiguation (WSD) through combining linguistically motivated features and a smoothed Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) model. The system achieved higher accuracy than previous best systems on the SENSEVAL2 English verb data.
Unsupervised and active learning methods for WSD. EM clustering for Chinese verb senses and active learning for English verb senses. Clustering-based feature selection for WSD. Noun clustering and semi-automatically created noun taxonomies, used for semantic features for WSD.  Nominal entity detection for the Chinese Automatic Content Extraction (CACE) project (summer 2003, summer 2004). Boosting and TAG  (Tree Adjoining Grammar) Supertagging for template relation detection, a subtask of the MUC-7 information extraction task (fall, 2001).
Department of Computer Science & Technology, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China
Master Student, Senior College Student      1997 – 2000
Visualization, dimension reduction, and classification algorithms for Chinese character recognition. A classification algorithm, based on Mahalanobis  distance and dimension reduction, for distinguishing well-similar handwritten Chinese characters.
