I am currently a fourth-year Ph.D student with the Advanced Computing and System Laboratory (CCNT), College of Compter Science & Technology at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. My supervisor is Prof. Jian Wu. I obtained my B.Eng. degree in Software Engineering from Northeastern University, Shenyang, China. My current research interest includes data mining, machine learning and service oriented computing, with a particular focus on natural language processing, recommender systems and deep reinforcement learning.
