I was a Staff Research Scientist and Co-Principal Investigator at MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab in Cambridge, MA, USA.
I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science at The University of Hong Kong.
My interests are centered around machine learning and its applications to vision and language. My ultimate research goal is to develop an autonomous agent that can perceive, reason and plan in the physical world.

How to view time, city and page together
In Google Analytics, select the property for this website and open Explore → Free form.
Add Date + hour, City and Page path and screen class as dimensions, and Views as a metric.
Put the dimensions in Rows and Views in Values. Choose your date range, then filter by city or page as needed.
For recent activity, open the Realtime report. Historical reports use the property’s time zone and may take time to update. These are aggregated statistics, not a log of individual IP addresses; Google Analytics does not store raw IPs.
Page hits and analytics use different counting methods; totals may differ. Detailed traffic data is viewed in Google Analytics and is not loaded into this public page.
