Hi! I am a Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA).
Before joining MSRA, I obtained my Ph.D from ILCC , School of Informatics , The University of Edinburgh on Sep 2017,
where I was working on Natural Language Generation and supervised by Prof. Mirella Lapata and Prof. Adam Lopez .
I am always looking for highly motivated interns to work with me on NLP tasks (e.g., text generation and pre-training). Feel free to drop me an email, if you are interested.
Research Interests
Natural Language Generation
Text Summarization
Sequence-to-Sequence Pre-training
Unsupervised Text Generation
Prompting for NLP(G)
