Pinzhen Chen (Patrick, 陈品桢) I am a second-year PhD student working on neural machine translation, and more specifically parallel sentence mining and filtering at the University of Edinburgh. My supervisors are Kenneth Heafield and Barry Haddow. [email: pinzhen.chen@ed.ac.uk] [Semantic Scholar] [Google Scholar]

Personal

I enjoy travelling and cooking. I am learning photography. I sometimes play badminton, basketball and Chinese chess.
