My main research interest is focused on solving problems arising from human-machine communication in the real-world. I’m also interested in conversational reasoning (e.g., dialogue system and question answering), knowledge-intensive NLP (e.g., retrieving information), broad range of long-context modeling, and making language models trustworthy.
