2023 and Earlier

Prior to Cornell, I have mainly published with my long-time mentor and collaborator, Quzhe Huang. Many of my explorations during this period have fundamentally inspired my thoughts on NLP and language data in the real world, e.g., the application of noisy annotations, and the compromised effectiveness & problematic setups of NLP tasks under practical constraints.
