Research Interests

Short Bio

I am a graduate student in Computer Science Department, Princeton University, working with Prof. David Blei.
I spent the summer of 2008 in Machine Learning and Applied Statistics Group at Microsoft Research. Mentors: Bo Thiesson and Chris Meek.
I worked as an assistant researcher at Microsoft Research Asia from 2006 to 2007. Managers: Xing Xie and Wei-Ying Ma.
I received my M.E. and B.E. from Department of Automation, Tsinghua University.
