WORKING EXPERIENCE

 

Currently, I am working with Gideon Mann under the supervision of Prof. David Yarowsky in the Personal Name Disambiguation. For more detail information, please check out http://nlp.cs.jhu.edu/~gsm/pd_demo/demo.html

 

In the summer 2004, I attend the JHU Summer School on Human Language Technology supported by NSF and NAACL. The syllabus can be found at http://www.clsp.jhu.edu/ws04/calendar/school.php

 

Before I came to Hopkins, I worked at Institute of Information Technology of Vietnam. I was involved in a speech synthesis and recognition project funded by the Vietnamese government. I mainly worked with Dr. Luong Chi Mai, and was in charge of studying Fujisaki’s model. I also participated in building Vietnamese speech corpus from radio broadcast resources and CSLU’s speech corpus. My colleagues and I discovered a method that automatically downloads, splits, and labels in phoneme level speech wave files. All of these activities helped our group to establish strong connections with Prof. Fujisaki, Prof. Mixdorff, and Prof. Hosom.

 

 

LIVING EXPERIENCE

 

The most fearful but interesting thing I ever did was playing Bungy Jumping. I tried it in Cairns, Autralia, in 1999. [pic1][pic2][pic3]

I love to eat different kinds of food. I tasted dishes of Jew, Japan, Korea, China, Thai, Afghanistan, Mexico, America, England, Australia, Italia, Germany, France, India, and of course Vietnam.  

The one who knows the most languages I ever met is Prof. Mixdorff. He can speak German, Russian, French, Spanish, English, Chinese, Japanese, and Thailand. He's now studying Vietnamese.

The poorest place I ever went to is a village of Dao Do people. This village is about 12km far from Sapa, a famous tourist place in North Vietnam.
