Recent Research Topics (Full Publications (DBLP) and KnowComp Group Code):

My research goal is to use machines to understand human languages and eventually facilitate natural human language interaction and communication. Our current approach is to extract useful knowledge from existing resources to construct knowledge graphs and use knowledge graphs to do reasoning and inference for understanding. When meeting downstream applications, we also need to care about privacy, security, and fairness issues to build trustworthy real-world systems.
