I am a third-year PhD student at School of Computer Science and Technology, Soochow University, advised by Prof. Peifeng Li. I received my bachelor defree from the School of Information Engineering, Zhengzhou University in 2019.

Research

I mainly focus on the research of multi-party dialogue discourse parsing. Besides, I'm interested in multi-party dialogue understanding/generation, proactive conversations.
