About Me
Hi, My name is Minh Duc Bui, but you can call me Duc. I am a PhD student specializing in Natural Language Processing (NLP) at JGU Mainz (Germany), under the supervision of Katharina von der Wense (nèe Kann). My research centers on cross-cultural NLP, exploring how NLP techniques can be adapted to understand and respect cultural differences. I aim to develop models that are sensitive to cultural nuances, ultimately fostering better global communication and inclusivity in AI applications.
