Hi! I'm Xiaodong
About me
I am currently a PhD student at University of Pennsylvania, majoring in Computer Science, as well as a research assistant in the Cognitive Computational Group, advised by Professor Dan Roth. Before coming to Penn, I was a master's student at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
My research interest includes domain adaptation, few shot learning, and event. My current research focuses on zero-shot Open NER and Event Linking.
