About Me

I am currently a Lecturer at College of Software Engineering, Zhengzhou University of Light Industry. I received my B.E., and M.E., degrees in computer science from Harbin University of Science and Technology, in 2012 and 2015 respectively, and my Ph.D degree in computer applications technology from Tianjin University, in 2020. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at Tianjin University-China Mobile Communications (Tianjin) Joint Laboratory in 2022 and also a postdoctoral fellow in School of Nursing at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) from 2022-2024. I was a visiting researcher at Harbin Institute of Technology in 2013, Beijing Institute of Technology in 2019, and University of Macau in 2019. I served as the reviewer for NLP major conferences, e.g., SIGIR, ACL, EMNLP, NLPCC, AACL, etc. I was chosen as an outstanding youth academic talent in 2020.
In recent five years, I have published more than 50 papers, including CCF ranking A/B conference papers (e.g., NIPS, IJCAI, EMNLP, CIKM, NAACL, etc.) and top journal papers (e.g., IEEE TFS, IEEE TAI, IEEE TAC, IEEE TITS, IEEE TCE, ACM TOIS, ACM TOIT, ACM TOMM, ACM CSUR, INFFUS, TCS, NN, AI, ACM TALLIP, etc.).

张亚洲，汉人也，生于豫北，长于豫北，尝游学于冰、津，现旅居于郑州。貌平庸，性卑傲，尚淫慢，事褊噪，难跻贾生之辈。时迷沉武侠，耽嗜幻想，常怀顾盼之情，感白头之慨。三十年间奔走四方，不曾建尺寸之功于世，年岁日长，志气渐消，平旦自思，方知平生所求者，既非学姜尚之才，亦非效李玄之志，但寻一美差，公事游旷，每闲暇之余，邀三五好友，饮至微醺，谈天说地，细语风情，左右环顾，妻女皆在身旁，如此则为人生之快事也。待百年之后，竖一草碑，碑文毋须多言，唯书八字：为情而迷，以梦为生，届时，吾或可知或不知，然生前身后，俱无憾矣。
