Xiachong Feng 冯夏冲

Currently, I am a Postdoc Fellow of Natural Language Processing Group, The University of Hong Kong (HKU NLP), working with Prof. Lingpeng Kong and Prof. Chuan Wu.

Previously, I am a Ph.D student from Harbin Institute of Technology, where I am a member of Text Generation Group of HIT-SCIR Lab under the supervision of Prof. Bing Qin and Prof. Xiaocheng Feng.

I am actively looking for strong and motivated students to work with me!
