About My Research
My research is mainly focused on human-computer interaction and natural language processing, with special interest in developing open-domain dialog systems that are more human-like. I have been active in the field of affective computing and its integration with chatbots to generate more empathetic responses. My recent work also involves verbal humor recognition using large-scale pre-trained language models.
