Biography
Dr. Rui Wang is a computational linguist working as an associate professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University since 2021. Before that, he was a researcher (tenured in 2020) at Japan National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) from 2016 to 2020. His research interest is multilingual NLP, especially machine translation (MT). He has published more than 40 papers in top-tier NLP/ML/AI conferences and journals, such as ACL, EMNLP, ICLR, AAAI, IJCAI, TPAMI, TASLP, etc. He has also won several first places in top-tier MT/NLP shared tasks, such as WMT-2018, WMT-2019, WMT-2020, CoNLL-2019, etc. He served as the area chairs of ICLR-2021 and NAACL-2021. He gave cutting-edge tutorials at EACL-2021 and EMNLP-2021.
