Ryo Kamoi

I’m interested in building reliable and explainable NLP systems. I received a master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin where I was advised by Professor Greg Durrett, and received a bachelor’s degree in Statistics from Keio University where I was advised by Professor Kei Kobayashi.
