Hello! I'm Will, and I'm a Sr. Data Scientist at Capital One where I work on the natural language understanding for Eno, our virtual assistant. Prior to joining Capital One, I was a Master's student in the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. I was also a member of the Machine Learning for Language (ML²) group (subset of the CILVR group) where I was advised by Prof. Samuel R. Bowman.
