Welcome to my homepage ^_^
I am a second year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University. My advisor is Prof. Christopher Manning.
My home country is Vietnam, the S-shaped easternmost area on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. My B.S degree was awarded by the National University of Singapore in 2009. During my time in Singapore, I was fortunate to be affiliated with the two research groups: WING group under Prof. Min-Yen Kan (Feb 2009 - Oct 2010), and Speech group under Prof. Khe Chai Sim (Nov 2010 - Aug 2011).
News
- Apr 2013 — I've recently wrapped up my main work on word representation learning (in submission) with Richard Socher and Prof. Christopher Manning.
- Sep 2012 — I spent a Fall quarter at Macquarie University, Australia, working with Prof. Mark Johnson. We got a paper provisionally accepted at TACL (in revision) on "Parsing entire discourses as very long strings: capturing topic continuity in grounded language learning", together with Prof. Michael C. Frank.
- Apr 2012 — This Winter quarter, I am officially aligned with Prof. Christopher Manning, i.e., my advisor!
- Jan 2012 — Happy new year, everyone! This Spring quarter, I am back to Gates, joining Prof. Christopher Manning's NLP group as part of the research rotation program. I have some research agenda in mind, but will hold the details for a while. Stay tuned!.
- Sep 2011 — This Fall quarter, I am having a research rotation with Prof. Noah D. Goodman, exploring computational models for human reading time prediction.
- Aug 2011 — Paper accepted at ASRU'2011: A Trajectory-based Parallel Model Combination with a Unified Static and Dynamic Parameter Compensation For Noisy Speech Recognition. Khe Chai Sim and Minh-Thang Luong.
- Apr 2011 — I will be joining the Stanford CS department this Fall as a PhD candidate (Sep 2011).
Research
I primarily interest in Computational Linguistics, specifically in the area of Machine Translation and Morphology – enhancing translation for morphologically rich languages.
Previously, in WING group, I worked extensively in many scholarly Digital Library projects – document structure discovery and keyphrase extraction. My recent work under the speech group investigates in model-based techniques for robust Speech Recognition systems.
Here is my CV.

Notes
This is my latest notes, containing all tips/commands/notes about various tools and languages. They are arranged in structures so that I could write a script later to split into separate files, one per language or tool ... For now, sorry for such a mess ...----------------------
Below are my notes collected randomly while I were learning some new tools and stuffs. To be organized:) :
