About Me

I received my Ph.D degree in computer engineering in 2019. My research interests include natural language processing, data mining, and machine learning and deep learning. In particular, I am interested in employing deep learning in different applications of natural language processing, especially sentiment analysis. The field of opinion mining, or sentiment analysis, has become active in recent years. Since different kinds of deep neural networks differ in their structures, they are probably extracting different features. Investigating whether features generated by heterogeneous deep neural networks can be combined by multi-view learning to improve the overall performance is a follow-up research work. I am also interested in the following topics:

Deep Learning:

  • Sequence to Sequence Models
  • Semantic Word Embedding
  • Multi-task Transfer Learning
  • Reinforcement Learning

Information Retrieval:

  • Web Document Ranking
  • Query Reformulation
  • Understanding User's Query Intent
  • Clustering/Classification

Natural Language Engineering:

  • Sentiment Analysis
  • Machine translation/Transliteration
  • Semantic Relatedness
  • Topic Modeling
