Hi! I’m Vlad [he/him]. I’m an assistant professor in the Language Technology Lab, at the Informatics Institute (IvI), University of Amsterdam. I research machine learning & natural language processing, focusing on sparsity and structure.
I’m proud to be & have been a doctoral advisor of some amazing scientists:
- Evgeniia Tokarchuk, PhD candidate
- dr. Tsvetomila Mihaylova
- dr. Gonçalo M. Correia.
I am recruiting two PhD candidates 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.
