Education and Career
He obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2014), and his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), supervised by Jiawei Han (2019)[3]. He joined University of California, San Diego in Nov 2019 as Assistant Professor, and earned tenure and was promoted as an Associate Professor in July 2024.
His research ranges from Natural Language Processing (NLP), Data Mining, and Machine Learning (ML). His work focuses on how AI systems learn, reason, and collaborate with human experts, with an emphasis on scalable knowledge discovery under limited supervision[4]. A central contribution of his work, recognized by awards like NSF CAREER award[5][6] and Google Research Scholar award[7], is the paradigm of Extremely Weak Supervision (XWS), which enables task learning from brief natural-language guidance rather than large annotated datasets, similar to the task-specific guidelines provided to human annotators. His work has received over eight thousand citations documented by Google Scholar[8] and has received coverage in the media[9][10][11].
