About

I am Michael Qizhe Shieh, a faculty at School of Computing, National University of Singapore. I spent 2 years for Master at Language Technologies Institute and 2 years for PhD at Machine Learning Department in Carnegie Mellon University, under the guidance of Eduard Hovy. I got my undergrad degree from the ACM Class at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
I enjoyed working with Quoc Le and Thang Luong at Google Brain (now Google DeepMind) for 2 years. I also collaborated closely with Zihang Dai throughout my CMU time.
My original Chinese name is 谢其哲. My old papers are published under its pinyin spelling Qizhe Xie, which is usually pretty hard for people who don't know pinyin (Quiz Xi seems to be the best guess for many people). So please feel free to call me Michael or Qizhe. Both work for me.
