<p class=”lead mb-5“> I am a PhD Candidate in Computer Science of Stony Brook University. <br />
I am very grateful for having <a href=’http://www3.cs.stonybrook.edu/~has/‘>H Andrew Schwartz</a> as my advisor. <br />
My key research focus is in the field of <b>Natural Language Processing (NLP)</b> for social media analysis, language modeling, information extraction and data analysis. I collaborate with psychologists and computational linguists for <b>Human-centered language modeling </b> to obtain higher accuracies of various NLP tasks from traditional tasks (e.g., sentiment analysis) to novel tasks such as discourse style analysis for psychological assessment and well-being measurement. I especially focus on <b>discourse relation parsing </b> to extract key information for targeted tasks such as <b><i> opinions or reasons for sentiment of reviews and a political stance</i></b>, and finding the correlations of discourse styles with human variables such as personality.</p>
