I am a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Washington, working with Yejin Choi and Zaid Harchaoui. Previously, I received my PhD from MIT, advised by Regina Barzilay and Tommi Jaakkola. Before that, I did my undergrad at Tsinghua University, where I was a member of the Yao Class.

I have broad interests in natural language processing, machine learning, and deep learning. More specifically, I study the nature of languages and develop models and algorithms to facilitate efficient, accurate, diverse, flexible, and controllable generation of discrete sequences.
