About me
I am Yuming Zhai (翟育铭), a Chinese researcher working on computational linguistics. After five years of bachelor study in French language and linguistics (at Dalian University of Foreign Languages and the University of Rouen), I had the chance to continue my master study in computational linguistics at the National Institute for Oriental Languages and Civilizations to broaden my professional career. During my master, I did three consecutive internships as a linguistic engineer in the startup XiKO. In 2016, I obtained a French ministerial scholarship for my doctoral study at the University of Paris-Saclay, CNRS, LIMSI (now LISN). In 2019, I defended my thesis in Natural Language Processing on the subject of recognising sub-sentential translation techniques, which was supervised by Anne Vilnat and Gabriel Illouz. After my PhD study, I worked during one year as a teaching and research assistant at LIMSI and the University of Paris-Saclay (department of computer science). From 2020 to 2023, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Artificial Intelligence and Human Languages Lab of Beijing Foreign Studies University. Now, I'm a lecturer at the School of foreign languages in North China Electric Power University.
