Andrew Drozdov
Graduate Student at UMass Amherst

I’m a PhD student in Computer Science at UMass Amherst and member of both UMass NLP and IESL. I work with Professors Andrew McCallum and Mohit Iyyer on developing neural methods for text processing. My research interests are in automatic structure discovery, instance-based learning, and text generation.
Previously, I’ve completed my Master’s in Computer Science at NYU where I worked with Professors Samuel Bowman and Kyunghyun Cho, and was a member of ML2 and CILVR. While at NYU I worked with reinforcement learning and deep syntactic models for natural language understanding.
I’ve also interned at Google AI and IBM, and worked multiple years as a Software Engineer before starting graduate school.
