About Me
Hi, my name’s Liang Shuailong. I’m a PhD student in Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), Singapore. I am expected to graduate in Summer 2020.
I do research on deep learning and natural language processing (NLP), and enjoy coding. My PhD research areas include fundamental NLP research, such as sequence labelling, as well as its applications in social science etc. I was one of the organizers of SemEval 2020 Task 4: Commonsense Validation and Explanation.
I am also interested in Fintech and Web development.
I am most skilled in: Deep Learning and Natural Language Processing. Beginer on Finance and Web dev (Coursera Course Certificate). My CV can be downloaded here.
