Nov. 16, 2024: my homepage has been moved to a Github site from now on.


My new book “Machine Learning Fundamentals” ©Hui Jiang 2021, is recently published by Cambridge University Press. Check here for details.


I am maintaining a technology blog at here.

I am currently working on various topics related to neural models for machine learning, speech and language processing, and computer vision. We are located at the NCML Lab (LAS2054). If you are interested in doing research with me, please email me at the above address.
