Yuki Arase
ASSOCIATE RESEARCHER 2
.

Yuki Arase received her B.E. (2006), M.I.S. (2007), and Ph.D. of Information Science (2010) from Osaka University, Japan. She joined Microsoft Research Asia on April 2010. In her Ph.D., she studied HCI on mobile devices, especially how to present a large Web page on a small screen. She also worked for Web data mining, specifically mining geo-tagged photos from the Web to extract hidden location knowledge from them. In MSRA, she is working on natural language processing. Her current research interests include Japanese-English statistical machine translation, Japanese natural language procesising, mobile Web, and Web data mining. She is a member of ACM, ACL, and IPSJ.

If you are interested in an intern position, please feel free to contact me.

  • Area: J-E/E-J statistical machine translation
  • Ph.D candidate (but not limited to)
