Generally speaking, my research interest is Human Computer Interaction and Natural Language Processing. Working with the SWoRD team, my current research has focused on peer-review analysis, which also involves textual data mining, machine learning, and visual analytics.
Before I came to PITT, I gained some experience in Speech Technology application in Education and Emotion Conversion in Expressive Speech Synthesis. Now I am a member of the ITSPOKE group here.
