About Me

Hi, human / crawler!

I am Yuning Mao , a third-year Ph.D student in the Data Mining Group, Computer Science Department, University of Illinois at Urbanaโ€“Champaign (UIUC). My advisor is Jiawei Han. I graduated from the IEEE Honored Class, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU).

My research lies in the organization and understanding of textual data and knowledge via natural language processing, machine learning, and data mining. I have worked on taxonomy construction, hierarchical classification, text summarization, and knowledge graph reasoning.

You can find some fun facts about me here, most of which are not in my CV (cuz I update it mainly for fun:)

What I Enjoy

Code

I love both engineering work (if it's fun) and research-oriented projects. My interests lie in data mining, NLP, and broad machine learning. I use ๐Ÿ cuz life is short.

Music

My love for note โ™ช is equivalent to code. I enjoy ๐ŸŽค privately (and in public). I used to play ๐ŸŽป but play ๐ŸŽน and ๐ŸŽธ more often now. I also compose music at times.

Nature

I love all kinds of creatures. I have had ๐Ÿ•, ๐Ÿˆ, ๐Ÿ“, ๐Ÿฆ†, ๐Ÿ•Š, ๐ŸŒ, ๐Ÿ›, ๐Ÿ•ท, ๐ŸŸ, ๐Ÿข, ๐ŸŒธ, ๐ŸŒฑ(๐Ÿ†๐ŸŒถ๐Ÿฅ’...๐ŸŒฝ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ ) ... I love insects, not "bugs". I am a "professional" ๐Ÿœ keeper!
