I pressed the shutter at random and captured this scene.

Hi there! I’m Di Wu 吴迪, a Phd candidate (starting in Sept 2022) under the supervision of Christof Monz at Language Technology Lab, University of Amsterdam.

I appreciate designing models or approaches that are driven by intuition after capturing deep understandings of specific fields, equipped with modern neural architectures, and grounded in real-world scenarios. The research that attracted me most is simple, insightful, and far-reaching creations or findings, such as Word2Vec.

I mainly focus on Natural Language Processing and more specifically Machine Translation.

Here are some problems I get interested in now. If you’re willing to chat about them, leave me a message. I’m always open to collaborations, or any kind of chat.
