Welcome to my personal webpage!

I am a graduate student in Language Technologies Institue (LTI), School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. My research interest includes large scale optimization, machine learning application in NLP, IR, recommendation system.

I received my Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University in 2012. I worked in Microsoft(Beijing) Speech group as a research intern during 2012 Feb to 2012 July.
