I am currently a Lecturer at the School of Information Engineering, Huzhou Normal University, and a Part-time Postdoctoral Fellow at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. If you are interested in academic collaboration, please feel free to contact me at hecongqing@hotmail.com.
I received my Ph.D. from the School of Computer Science, Universiti Sains Malaysia. Before that, I earned my M.S. from Hunan University and my B.S. from Hefei Normal University.
My research interests include deep learning, natural language processing, information retrieval, and AI for Law. I have published 10+ papers in SCI journals and top international AI conferences such as Computer Science Review, ESWA, TIM, ACL, EMNLP, and ECAI. More details can be found on my Google Scholar.
