👋 Howdy, I'm Houjun Liu!

I’m a third-year coterminal MSCS and BSCS student in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University, grateful to be advised by Prof. Mykel Kochenderfer. In the course of my research, I have also had the fortunate opportunity to work with Stanford NLP under Prof. Chris Manning, CMU TalkBank under Prof. Brian MacWhinney, and Prof. Xin Liu at UC Davis Engineering. I am affiliated with the Stanford NLP Group and Stanford Intelligent Systems Lab. I’m visiting Microsoft Research Frontiers as a research intern.

Projects Index is a index that contains a list of almost all projects for which I have ever worked on. Major categories are highlighted from chapter titles.

Research Projects

I end up doing a lot of research these days, and so have isolated that to a different, academic homepage.

For a list of my recent research, please head to my academic homepage. For concision they are NOT repeated here.
