MSc and PhD application should be addressed to the University portal.
Requirements for all students:
New Initiatives for MSc Applicants:
To consider a wider range of prospective students, I am starting a new initiative for interviewing MSc applicants.
As a first step, please describe a project that you have done with the following requirements:
Your files may be reviewed by the PI and current students.
CMPUT 651: Deep Learning for NLP [Winter 2021][Fall 2019]
CMPUT 466/566: Machine Learning [Fall 2020] [Winter 2020] [Fall 2021]
CMPUT 463/563: Probabilistic Graphical Models [Fall 2021]
I allow eClass guest access with UofA accounts for all my courses. No email request is needed for accessing eClass.
Independent Study:
I feel happy to offer the Independent Study course for both undergraduate and graduate students.
A student interested in such a research course should write me a letter of motivation.
The project idea could come from either the student or the instructor, and ideally both.

Dr. Lili Mou is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computing Science, University of Alberta. He is also an Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii) Fellow and a Canada CIFAR AI (CCAI) Chair. Lili received his BS and PhD degrees in 2012 and 2017, respectively, from School of EECS, Peking University. After that, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Waterloo and a research scientist at Adeptmind (a startup in Toronto, Canada). His research interests include deep learning applied to natural language processing as well as programming language processing. He has publications at top conferences and journals, including AAAI, ACL, CIKM, COLING, EMNLP, ICASSP, ICLR, ICML, IJCAI, INTERSPEECH, NAACL-HLT, NeruIPS, and TACL (in alphabetic order). He also has tutorials presented at EMNLP-IJCNLP'19 and ACL'20. |
Admitting
I am admitting all-level students, postdocs, as well as visiting scholars.MSc and PhD application should be addressed to the University portal.
Requirements for all students:
- Coding ability (implementing algorithms as well as using existing toolkits)
- Math background (being able to go through equations and proofs of common machine learning models)
- Passion for scientific research (motivation, curiosity, persistence, etc.)
New Initiatives for MSc Applicants:
To consider a wider range of prospective students, I am starting a new initiative for interviewing MSc applicants.
As a first step, please describe a project that you have done with the following requirements:
- The writing should be in pdf as an attachment and at most one page.
- In your writing, please describe the problem, its difficulty, your solution, and results.
- In addition, please especially discuss your unique insights and interesting findings from the project.
- The project does not have to be related to AI/NLP/ML.
- Please send your project description and CV to UofA.NLP.Admission@gmail.com
Your files may be reviewed by the PI and current students.

Entertainment
Lili Mou's major hobbies include practicing calligraphy, watching yueju,visiting traditional Chinese architectures, taking MOOCs, and many others.
Gallery
- Solo Exhibition (Jun 2015). I have been practicing calligraphy since I was 5 years old,
supervised by Mr. Lei He. After a broad range of attempt, I am currently
specialized in Kai (regular), Xing (illegible), and Cao (very illegible) styles.
In 2015, I held my own calligraphy exhibition (albeit small and unofficial).
Following are some pictures taken in the exhibition.
- Held by Student Association of Calligraphy, Peking University (30 May--1 Jun, 2016).
