Introduction

Dr. Wei Ye is now an associate professor at National Engineering Research Center for Software Engineering, Peking University. In 2011, he obtained a doctorate degree from the School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science, Peking University, working with Prof. Shikun Zhang. Wei Ye has a broad interest in real-world problems related to natural languages, knowledge graphs, and programming languages. More specifically, he is now conducting research into information extraction, natural language generation, and deep-learning-based program analysis.

The Knowledge Computing Lab at Peking University is part of National Engineering and Research Center for Software Engineering, where faculties, students and software engineers work together on advanced algorithms towards natural language understanding and programming language comprehension. Our research topics include, but are not limited to, relation extraction, sequence modeling, sentiment analysis, code knowledge graph, code summarization and code retrieval. We have won more than 10 awards in national and international AI competitions. We distinguish ourselves as being practice-oriented, as our researches have been applied in large-scale real-world projects in areas such as enterprise intelligence, medical AI, petition, legal system, and human resources.

We are looking for highly self-motivated students to work with us as PhD candidates (several positions open for 2023 Fall) or for Master's Degree. If you share our vision and are interested in working with us, please send your resume to wye#pku.edu.cn.
