About me
Hello! I am a PhD candidate at School of Computing and Information Systems (SCIS), Singapore Management University (SMU). My PhD is funded by Vingroup Young Talent Scholarship. At SMU, I have been supervised by Prof. Hady W. Lauw. The central theme of my research is interpretability in recommender systems. Prior to SMU, I was a member of Data Science and Knowledge Technology Laboratory at VNU University of Engineering and Technology (VNU-UET) from Aug 2018 to Jul 2020, working with Prof. Xuan-Hieu Phan and Dr. Thai-Le Luong on intention mining from social media texts. Going back further in time, I obtained my BSc degree (first class honor) in Computer Science from VNU-UET in Jun 2018 under the supervision of Prof. Xuan-Hieu Phan.
