About

I am Michael Qizhe Shieh, an Assistant Professor at National University of Singapore. I received my Masters' and PhD from School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (LTI and MLD respectively). My PhD advisor was Eduard Hovy. I got my undergrad degree from the ACM Class at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
I was a student researcher working with Quoc Le and Thang Luong at Google Brain (now Google DeepMind) for 2 years. I also collaborated closely with Zihang Dai.
My original Chinese name is 谢其哲. My old papers are published under its Mandarin spelling Qizhe Xie. I now publish under Michael Qizhe Shieh for easier pronunciation for Non-Mandarin speakers.
