My name is Nguyễn Việt Cường (IPA Pronunciation: ), and I am a Vietnamese. My name can be written as Nguyen Viet Cuong, Viet Cuong Nguyen, or Cuong Viet Nguyen in English :). However, in Japan, they write my name as NGUYEN Cuong Viet. My family name is Nguyễn (阮 - グエン), the middle name is Việt (越 - ヴイエット), and the given name is Cường (強 - クーン). In the formal usage, they often refer me by my given name (Cường), not by my family name (Nguyễn). An interesting information is that Nguyễn is the most popular family name in Vietnam (38.4% of population in an unofficial statistic).
Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Natural Language Processing Laboratory in School of Information Science, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Japan. My research focuses on Text Summarization, which is a field of Natural Language Processing.
I have interests in many domains in computer science, such as Artificial Intelligence, Networking, and Software Engineering. My research interests include Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval, Data Mining, Machine Learning, and High Performance Computing.
Coding is also one of my interests. I can write programs in many languages on both Linux and Windows platforms, such as C/C++, PHP, Perl, Python, C#, Java... and Pascal, which is the first programming language in my life. I use C/C++, Java, and Python for research applications, PHP for web-based applications, C# for desktop applications, and Pascal for learning algorithms in the past.
Currently, I also work as a system administrator for some large forums with hundreds of thousands members in Viet Nam.
