Research Description

My research interests include Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Knowledge Graph, Dialog Agent and
Question Answering. I am fascinated by the idea of giving computers the ability to understand human language.

Recently I have mainly focused on NLP problems concerning knowledge-based information processing, a process which is strongly motivated
by the deluge of information available on the Internet and knowledge bases. To develop a practical and high-quality knowledge base for the
need of knowledge-based information processing is very critical and also challenging. The number of entities can be millions, ten millions,
and even endless. It is impossible to build manually, so it must be built in an automated way. At the same time, its inference mechanism,
including causality, relationships, action processes, etc. must also be considered together, so the representation form and the representation
ability of such knowledge base also needs to be carefully designed.

To build such a practical knowledge base, I am currently engaged in research on knowledge acquisition, representation, reasoning and
utilization. I am also fascinated by addressing NLP tasks by utilizing deep reinforcement learning models, where the models concern with
how software agents ought to take actions in an environment so as to maximize rewards.
