Tao Wu(吴涛)

My name is Tao Wu, a first-year PhD at the College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS), NTU, supervised by Prof. Yewen Pu. I received my bachelor’s from Northwestern Polytechnical University and my master’s from NTU; during my master’s with Prof. Jianfei Yang I studied noise in human communication for Embodied Question Answering (EQA), which led to NoisyEQA and AbstainEQA. I am now in the Natural Programming Lab, working on human–agent and human–human communication, embodied AI, and human–robot interaction.
