About
I have been a postdoc at King's College London in Natural Language Processing since Feb 2023, funded by EPSRC. My advisors are Dr. Lin Gui and Prof. Yulan He. My research interests lie in the areas of natural language processing and machine learning, with a particular focus on narrative understanding and interactive AI applications. I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science and an MSc in Data Science from the University of Warwick. I also earned my BA in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge.
Research interests:
Narrative Understanding - Opinion Mining, Logical Reasoning, Structure Prediction, Information Extraction.
Interactive AI Applications - Interactive Agents, Multi-modal Enhanced Immersive Worlds, Human Social Interactions Simulation.
