My name is James Y. Huang. I’m a third-year Ph.D. student at University of Southern California (USC) advised by Prof. Muhao Chen. Prior to joining USC, I received my M.S. from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) where I worked with Prof. Kai-Wei Chang. My research interest lies in natural language processing and machine learning.
