David Wadden

I'm a research scientist on the AllenNLP and Semantic Scholar teams at the Allen Institute for AI. I'm interested in NLP and machine learning, often motivated by applications in science and health.

Previously, I was a PhD student at the University of Washington, advised by Hanna Hajishirzi.
