Joseph Marvin Imperial

Kumusta! I'm Joseph. I'm a UKRI CDT Doctoral Researcher at the University of Bath's Integrated Ph.D. Program in Accountable, Responsible, and Transparent AI (also called ART-AI)

I do state-of-the-art research in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML). I'm particularly interested in the following research areas:

I'm originally from the Philippines 🇵🇭 but am currently based in the UK for the rest of my Ph.D. studies. I'm also affiliated with the Department of Computer Science as an NLP researcher of the Human Language Technology (HLT) Lab at National University, Philippines.

You may visit my  Google Scholar page for the complete list of my previous research engagements.
