Alexander Wettig

I'm a second-year PhD student in the Princeton NLP group, working with Danqi Chen. Previously, I graduated with a BA & MEng from the University of Cambridge, where I worked with Adrian Weller.

I am broadly interested in improving generalization of neural networks in natural language understanding.
