I am a faculty member of the
School of Computing and Information Systems at
SMU. My research explores two questions: What are the underlying principles of humans understanding conversation context as well as making proper responses, and how we can implement them on machine learning models? Research on this topic has to necessarily be at the intersection of Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing and Multimedia. My group is specifically interested in task-oriented dialogues, proactive conversational agents, and multimodal conversational search and recommendation as the application target. I received my Ph.D. from NUS, advised by Professor
Tat-Seng Chua.
