• Computational Linguistics
• Spoken Language Processing
• Language Acquisition

My research interest lies in how humans acquire/process natural languages.

Currently I pay attention to speech signals because they are more primitive sources than texts when acquiring/processing languages. I’m aware of the problem that the current trend in NLP is biased towards text-based approach. I hope to make contributions that shift this paradigm into “speech-first” one.

My previous work on mutilingual syntax-aware language modeling also suites my interest. I believe the language universality and variation are key to unravel the mystery of human language processing. That’s why I’m curious about multilinguality and syntax as well.
