88<!-- 			<p>and this is my <strong>personal</strong> website</p> -->
89		</header>
90		<p>Hi there. My name is <strong> Wiem (wiː æm / ウイエム)</strong>.  </p>
91		<p> I'm a <strong> PhD student </strong> at the <strong>Foundational AI Center for Doctoral Training</strong> at <strong> University College London.</strong> I am a part of both the <a href="https://nlp.cs.ucl.ac.uk/"> UCLNLP</a> and <a href="http://wi.cs.ucl.ac.uk/">Web Intelligence</a> groups under the supervision of <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/emineyilmaz/"> Emine Yilmaz</a> and <a href="https://pontus.stenetorp.se/"> Pontus Stenetorp.</a> I am also an <a href="https://ellis.eu/phd-postdoc"> ELLIS</a> scholar. </p> 
92		<p> I was previously a research scientist at <strong> NEC Laboratories Europe, </strong> based in Heidelberg, Germany. I completed my  <strong> Master’s of Engineering in Artificial Intelligence at Tokyo Institute of Technology (東京工業大学) </strong>where I was member of <strong>Okazaki lab(岡崎研究室)</strong>, a Natural Language Processing lab. Before that, I was also a member of <strong> Tsuruoka lab </strong> in <strong> the University of Tokyo(東京大学) </strong>, as a research student. </p>
93		<p> I am currently conducting research in  <strong> Explainable and Human-centered AI </strong>  in the context of NLP. I have a background of work and internships at startups as an mobile developer, so I am naturally interested in applied Machine Learning as well (and a fan of clean, well-thought-out code). </p>
94		<p> I obtained my  <strong> bachelor’s of Science in Computer Science from the American University of Beirut</strong>, in Lebanon where I minored in applied mathematics and philosophy. I am originally from a beautiful coastal city in Tunisia, North Africa. </p>
95		<p> I was lucky to be the recipient of various scholarships and grants that covered my higher education journey, and therefore I am always happy to share my experience and help qualified and motivated people find better opportunities, if I can. </p>

116		<p>Commonsense reasoning has long been a challenge in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Recently, the emergence of large pre trained language models achieving state-of-the-art results in several NLP tasks, such as BERT and GPT has also influenced commonsense tasks to regain popularity.</p>

307					My research interests revolve around applications of Deep Learning for the synthesis of Sounds and Images, audio and image processing in general, and other creative and useful applications. </p>
308					<p>The research project that I'm most proud of has to be my GAN for the synthesis of color palettes, as it took me more than a year of obsessive learning and coding until I was able to put it together. I will hopefully tackle some improvements in the next couple of months.
