Zhenqiao Song 「宋珍巧」

I am a Ph.D. student at University of California, Santa Barbara, advised by Prof. Lei Li. Before that, I had been a researcher at ByteDance AI-Lab MLNLC group for two years, advised by Prof. Hao Zhou. I received my master's degree from Fudan University (FDU). During this period, I worked as a student researcher advised by Prof. Xiaoqing Zheng in Fudan University Natural Language Processing Group.

Research Topics

My research interests lie in the general area of natural language processing. I used to study applications on generative modeling and cross-lingual representation learning. Recently, I focus on efficient generative modeling, e.g., multilingual text generation and parallel multilingual translation. I also study protein design now.
