Hello! My name is Yayue Deng. I am a dedicated Artificial Intelligence Master’s student at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), with an expected graduation date in June 2025.
My academic focus is on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, with a particular interest in Speech Synthesis and Natural Language Processing. My ultimate goal is to leverage my expertise in these areas to develop a conversational chatbot that exhibits both emotional and intellectual intelligence. I am currently researching Speech Synthesis (TTS) and Spoken Dialogue Systems as part of my Master’s degree, which aligns with my future aspirations.
You can also read more about my research experience and my background by clicking or google scholar.
My future plan is to pursue a doctoral degree. If you are interested in my field of research, please feel free to contact me at yayue.deng@bupt.edu.cn or Twitter!

Three-dimensional Human-computer Interaction Model Design for Chinese Pronunciation
Act as an excellent project leader of National College Students’ Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Program. The project is used to help the Chinese learners understand the exact location and method of the phoneme articulation intuitively. This project introduced a dynamic three dimensional (3D) head model built based on the knowledge of anatomy and the theory of distinctive features.
