ORGANIZING COMMITTEE (alphabetical order)
Angela Fan is a PhD student at INRIA Nancy and a researcher at Facebook AI Research Paris, working on text generation and efficient inference. She previously chaired the annual FAIR conference.
Goran Glavaš is an Assistant Professor for NLP at the University of Mannheim with research focus on lexical/computational semantics, in particular multilingual and cross-lingual representations and resource-light cross-lingual NLP transfer. He has co-organized the TextGraphs workshop on graph-based NLP for (2017-2019).
Shafiq Joty is an Assistant Professor at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. His work has primarily focused on developing language analysis tools and exploiting these tools effectively in downstream NLP applications for question answering, machine translation, image/video captioning, visual question answering, and opinion analysis. His work has appeared in major journals and conferences. He served as an area chair for ACL-2019 and EMNLP-2019 and a senior program committee member for IJCAI 2019. He gave tutorials on ``Discourse Analysis and Its Applications" at ACL-2019 and at ICDM-2018.
Nafise Sadat Moosavi is a postdoctoral researcher at the Ubiquitous Processing Lab (UKP), University of Darmstadt working on discourse analysis, question answering, and developing simple, robust and generalizable NLP models.
Vered Shwartz is a postdoctoral researcher at the Allen Institute for AI (AI2) and the University of Washington, working on lexical semantics, multiword expressions, and commonsense reasoning. She previously co-organized the ACL 2018 Student Research Workshop and the SemEval 2018 shared task on hypernymy discovery, and is currently co-organizing a AAAI workshop on complex question answering and commonsense reasoning.
Alex Wang is a PhD student at New York University. His research focuses on generalizable NLP models and text generation. He helped create the GLUE and SuperGLUE NLP benchmarks.
Thomas Wolf leads the Science Team at Huggingface Inc., a Brooklyn-based startup working on Natural Language Generation and Understanding. He previously co-organized the NeuralGen 2019 workshop and the tutorial on Transfer Learning in NLP at NAACL 2019. His team has open-sourced several widely used libraries for co-reference resolution and transfer learning in NLP and published research papers in ML and CL conferences.
