I am an assistant professor in Department of Computer Science and Technology of Tsinghua University. I obtained my Ph.D. in DCST of Tsinghua University in 2006. I became ACM Professional member in 2006 and IEEE member in 2007.

I have been visiting scholar at Department of Computer Science and Engineering of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. During my graduate career, I have been an intern at NLC group of Microsoft Research Asia from 2004 to 2005. I also have attended the internship program of IBM China Research Lab in 2004.

I am interested in social network mining/text mining and semantic web.

SELECTED RESEARCH PROJECTS (A COMPLETE LIST)

• XML Data Integration and Search Through Probabilistic Models. (2009-2010). National High-tech R&D Program (863 Program) under Grant No. 2009AA01Z138. (PI).
• Scalable Algorithms for Message Tagging and Community Discovery. (2008-2009). Tsinghua-Google Joint Research Project funded by Google Research (Major Member).
• Research of Semantic Content Annotation. (2008-2010). Chinese Young Faculty Research Funding under Grant No. 20070003093 (PI).
• Social Search in Web Community & Text Mining in Web 2.0. (2008-2010). Joint Research Project funded by IBM China Research Lab(PI). In this project, we jointly study how to combine the human intelligence with computer algorithms for improve the search quality. We also consider how to model the tagging and the timely information in the social search model.
• Research of Unified Models for Semantic Content Annotation. (2008-2010). NSFC Funded Project under Grant No. 60703059 (PI). The project addresses the semantic content annotation and semantic relationship extraction. Specifically, we will focus on studying different Markov random fields (e.g., Tree-structured Conditional Random Fields) for extracting and annotating the semantic instance and semantic relationship. We plan to apply the proposed models to a real-world social network system, ArnetMiner.
• Requirement Engineering Validation and Management. (2007-2012). National Foundational Science Research (973) under Grant No. 2007CB310803. (Member).
• Expertise Oriented Mining for Web Community. (2007-2008). Minnesota/China Collaborative Research Program jointly funded by University of Minnesota and Tsinghua University(PI and co-PI with Prof. Loren Terveen).In this research project, we will jointly study the new expertise oriented mining issues in the area of Web-based social networks. Specifically, we will focus on investigating three sub-topics, namely structured data extraction, information integration, and expertise search.
