Mengqiu Wang (王孟秋)
email address: my first name@cs.stanford.edu
I am a PhD student at the Computer Science Department of Stanford University.
Prior to coming to Stanford, I was a Master's student at the Language Technologies Institute of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.
My advisor is Prof. Chris Manning, and I work with the NLP research group at Stanford.
In the past, I had worked on Statistical Parsing, Information Retrieval and Open-Domain Question Answering.
In general, I am interested in multi-lingual and cross-lingual NLP and statistical machine learning.
You can find my resume here.
