Research and/or software development position in the fields of intelligent agents, information retrieval and filtering, Internet-based research and development, computer network, natural language processing.

• Aug.1996-May.1998: Research Assistant, Ph.D Candidate in School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University.

1. Principle designer and developer of WebMate system, a personal agent for Web browsing and searching Web, which is part of RETSINA project in Intelligent Agent Group in CMU. The system was written in about 30000 lines of Java code and about 2000 lines of Javascript code. The focus of my research is to discover the information and build the task context for the agents by learning from environment or collaborating with each other.
2. Developed NewsMate system that is a news reading agent to collect important & personal news in real time. It was written in 10000 lines of Java code. Developed Searchclues system that is an intelligent search guide or query expansion system. 7000 lines of Java code and 2000 lines of Javascript were written. Developed "Create Your Own Agent" system which is an integrated agent for the web sites with similar functions. 6000 lines of Java code and 3000 lines of Javascript code were written. These three systems originated from my own idea and were developed in my spare time.
3. Researched and implemented the Stock Ontology using LOOM reasoning system. Programmed in Perl and LISP.
4. Proposed and realized the Trigger Pair Model for query refinement. Programmed in Perl and C++.
5. Researched and did Experiments on using Language Model to learn user's profile and classify texts. Programmed in Perl and C++.

• Sept.1994-July.1996: Research Assistant, Master student in Department of Computer Science & Technology, Tsinghua University

• Researched and implemented the Example-based Japanese-to-Chinese Machine Translation system. The prototype system was written in 20000 lines of C++ and C code. This was also the topic of the thesis for my Master degree and was awarded as the excellent research work.

• June.1994-Sept.1994: Intern in the Phoenix Information Corporation.

• Compared and implemented most of the compression algorithms for TCP/IP based network communication using C++. This was the part of the Airline Ticket and Hotel Reservation System.

• Sept.1993-June.1994: Project Manager, Master student in Department of Computer Science & Technology, Tsinghua University

• Project Manager of developing the Automatic Chinese Phoneme-to-Character Conversion Expert System. This is an advanced research topic in Chinese language processing and was funded by 863 High-Tech Committee in China and the Academic Institute in Taiwan.

• June.1993-Sept.1993: Intern in the Fangxun Information System Company

• Programmed the telephone message-box system in C++, C, and ASM(x86). Now the system is widely used as the voice email service.

• Sept.1988-June.1993: Undergraduate Student in Department of Computer Science & Technology, Tsinghua University

1. Researched and implemented the Japanese Text Segmentation Algorithm. This was also the topic of the thesis for my Bachelor degree.
2. Designed and implemented an on-line handwriting recognition system.
3. Took part in the Chinese Corpus Processing Project funded by Chinese National Science Foundation. Lots of experiences on Natural Language Processing were accumulated in this period.
4. Developed the virus immunization card using ASM(x86).
5. Developed the multi-lingual processing card using ASM(x86).
