Hello

I am assistant professor at the KAIST Kim Jaechul AI Graduate School. I completed my PhD at the University of Cambridge researching Natural Language Processing. I researched fact verification, supervised by Andreas Vlachos and was funded by an Amazon Alexa Graduate Research Fellowship.

I also co-organise the FEVER workshop:
