About Me

I studied at Shanghai Jiao-Tong University for my Bachelor and Master degrees, majored in Computer Science, with a secondary Bachelor degree in Applied Mathematics. During my 4th year of bachelor study, I was introduce to the field of natural language processing, and shortly later, the more general computational linguistics. I was mainly working on shallow processing (POS tagging, statistical parsing) and related NLP applications (Information Extraction, Question Answering) for Chinese during my study in Shanghai.

In the year 2003, I visited Saarbruecken and immediately got interested in the linguistically deep processing technologies. Not very much a linguist before, I took a major decision to start my Ph.D. study at Saarbruecken in Computational Linguistics in 2004. Later I was introduced into the DELPH-IN community. Now my work mainly focuses on enhancing the robustness of the deep processing technologies.

In 2007, I submitted my PhD thesis and continued to work at DFKI and CoLi-SB as a researcher and teaching staff.
