Internship

Research Intern at Sony

Jun 2023 - Sep 2023, Tokyo

During this internship at Creative AI Lab at Sony, I extend my research scope to NLP for cross-modal representation learning. I proposed BiAug to mitigate reporting bias problem in visual-language datasets with bimodal augmentation.

Research Intern at Microsoft

Oct 2021 - Jan 2022, Beijing

I proposed PCL at EMNLP 2022 that tackles the bias problem in the sentence embeddings during the internship. The codes and models can be found at https://github.com/qiyuw/PeerCL

Research Intern at Microsoft Research Asia

Apr 2020 - Jun 2021, Beijing

I proposed TNF at ICLR 2021 to mitigate the rare word problem in the language pre-training. We use an external memory to store and provide richer information for rare words on the fly.

Research Intern at Baidu Research

Oct 2019 - Feb 2020, Beijing

I have contributed to the transportation recommendation systems of Baidu Maps, and worked on community-aware transportation prediction AAAI 2021 (co-first author) during the internship.

Visiting Student at UCSD

Jan 2023 - Present, San Diego (Hybrid)

Exploring latent model for NLP.

Research Assistant with NTT CS Lab

Jun 2022 - present, Tokyo

On-campus working on weakly supervised pre-training for word alignment. We made word aligner more practical by mitigate the dependence to manual data. Paper has been accepted to ACL 2023 main conference.
