Misc

I am a Malaysian 🇲🇾 and I contributed substantially to NLP for South-East Asian (SEA) languages. For instance, I studied language-mixing behaviors for SEA languages (EMNLP 2023 CALCS, EMNLP 2023 Findings, ACL 2023 Findings), contributed Malaysian cultural data to SEACrowd and CVQA, and co-hosted a tutorial for SEA NLP (AACL 2023).

I went to Minerva University during my undergrad so I had the opportunity to travel and live in six different countries for at least four months: United States (San Francisco), South Korea (Seoul), India (Hyderabad), Germany (Berlin), Argentina (Buenos Aires), and United Kingdom (London).

One of my biggest passion outside of work is dancing 🕺, especially salsa and bachata. I also dance a bit of Lindy Hop, Argentine Tango and K-pop. I usually check out the dance scenes in the city when I travel to conferences ––– if you also enjoy dancing, hmu we can check them out together.
