My Research
I used to be a computer scientist. From July 2001 to September 2003, I worked as an assistant researcher in Microsoft Research Asia focusing on machine learning methods and their applications in natural language computing, and published several papers on top level international conferences and journals. My major contribution lies in cross-task learning (see, e.g., my papers in ICML '03, ACL '02). Now I do not engage in professional research, but may still trace the research in the related fields in spare time.
