Arrogance is a sign of ignorance.
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computational Linguistics at The University of Texas at Austin, where I’m blessed to be advised by Professor Junyi Jessy Li. The ambition of my research is to build emotionally intelligent AI systems in a broader social context.
Casually, I go by Henry.
