Welcome to my homepage!
I am a Ph.D. candidate at Tongji University. My name is Zhang Zhifei (

I was born in Rudong County, Jiangsu Province in 1986, which is named "the place of seafood in China". I have been in Shanghai for nearly 9 years since I came to Tongji in Sep. 2004. I received my Bachelor's degree of Computer Science and Technology from Tongji in Jun. 2008 and was recommended as a Ph.D. student exempt from examination. My supervisor is Professor Duoqian Miao.
My research interests include Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. Now I am working on Opinion Mining and Topic Model. You could contact me via Email.
