Hi! I’m Vlad [he/him]. I’m an assistant professor in the Informatics Institute (IvI), University of Amsterdam. I research machine learning & natural language processing, focusing on sparsity and structure.
I’m proud to be a co-advisor of PhD students Tsvetomila Mihaylova and Gonçalo M. Correia. I am recruiting one PhD candidate in ML for NLP.
I obtained my PhD from Cornell in 2018, advised by Claire Cardie, and then post-docced in the DeepSPIN project at the Instituto de Telecomunicações, Lisbon, Portugal. I am a scikit-learn core dev/alum and I develop the polylearn library for factorization machines and polynomial networks in Python.
