Biography:

I am a graduate student at the Department of Computer Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison, since August 2010. I am currently working on Machine Learning,advised by Professor Jerry Zhu.

I obtained my Bachelor's degree from the Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University,China ,on July 2010. I conducted research on Statistical Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning (particularly with graphical models) under the supervision of Professor Zhijian Ou.

Research Interests:

I like Machine Learning,both the theoretical study and application research.Currently, I am working on some projects related to active learning and semi-supervised learning.I am also interested in probabilistic graphical model, nonparametric Bayesian and other interesting topics.
