Research Collaborator @ URA Research Group, HCMUT
I am a second-year Information Technology student at the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology (PTIT).
My research focuses on neural machine translation for morphologically rich languages, low-resource languages, and ethnic minority languages.
- Neural Machine Translation: Building and evaluating translation systems for languages with limited supervision.
- Morphology-Aware NLP: Understanding how morphological structure can improve tokenization and model adaptation.
- Low-Resource and Ethnic Minority Languages: Developing inclusive language technologies for Vietnamese ethnic minority communities.
- [OCT 2026] Our paper Mind the Morphology: Morphology-Aware Tokenizer Adaptation under Constrained Fine-Tuning was accepted to SOICT 2026 and will appear in the Springer CCIS proceedings.
- [JAN 2026] Our paper Not All Data Augmentation Works: A Typology-Aware Study for Low-Resource Neural Machine Translation in Vietnamese Ethnic Minority Languages was accepted to the AAAI 2026 Workshop on Language Models for Under-Represented Communities (LM4UC).
