Greetings! I am a final-year Ph.D. student at the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago. I am grateful to be advised by Professors Karen Livescu and Kevin Gimpel, and to be supported by a Google Ph.D. Fellowship since Autumn 2021. I received a B.S. in 2018 from the School of EECS at Peking University, where I minored in Sociology.
My research interests are in computational linguistics and natural language processing, and I am particularly interested in learning language through grounding, multilingual NLP and related topics. Representative work includes the grounded syntax and semantics learners, the contextualized bilingual lexicon inducer, and the substructure-based zero-shot cross-lingual dependency parser. Recently, I have also worked on searching for evidence of semantics encoded in large language models, both in support of and in opposition to Bender & Koller (2020). For more details, check out my research topics and academic c.v.
