PhD student at ShanghaiTech

About Me

Hi, my name’s Chengyue Jiang and I’m currently a PhD student at ShanghaiTech University. I majored in Computer Science, and I’m doing research focusing on Natural Language Processing (NLP), and I’m supervised by Prof. Kewei Tu.

More specifically, I’m finding proper ways to use symbolic knowledge (e.g. Regular Expressions) to help NLP models reach better performance and have better interpretability on NLP tasks.

Education

I recieve my Bachelor degree in Computer Science in ShanghaiTech University, (June 2015 - June 2019).
And I’m now a PhD student in ShanghaiTech University, supervised by Prof. Kewei Tu.
