Ming Liu
Lecturer of Machine Learning
Dr Ming Liu is an early career researcher who works on Natural Langauge Processing and Machine Learning. He proposed the “Learn to actively learn” approahch for active learning and developed a few text summarization models/pipelines (e.g. SummPip, SciSummPip), both of which are widely used in low-resource text generation settings. His reseach has attracted multiple grants, including 2022 Deakin MiniARC, 2023 ARC Linkage (LP220200746). Dr Ming has interest in solving real world text mining problems, paticularly in domain specific settings.
