Short-bio

Phd candidate at Harbin Institute of Technology, HIT. Advised by Prof. Haifeng Wang and Prof. Wanxiang Che.
From November 2014 to June 2015 I was a research assistant at NUS and received my bachelor of computer science degree from Harbin Institute of Technology.

Research Interests

  • Knowledge-driven Proactive Open-Domain Dialogue. I am pondering how to endow chatbot with proactivity. Maybe a brain (graph based) is needed, so I am trying to build it, and we will see what will happen...
