WING 2026 Spring Outing at Clarke Quay

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

WING members were excited to have a spring outing at Clarke Quay on January 23, 2026. For this outing, we scheduled it at the beginning of the semester to help new members better cohere with the group.

We enjoyed both the beautiful river view and the pizza! We were happy to see the return of our alumni, especially Hengchang, Victor, and Taha, as well as our collaborator, Yunshan. We especially thank Hengchang (a WING PhD alumnus) for his generous donation of the pizza (and other items on the bill as well)!

WING Hosts a Lab Tour for AAAI 2026 Participants

AAAI 2026 has been held in Singapore from January 20 to January 27. Some of our group members are excited to travel to the conference site (at Expo) to communicate research. In conjunction with our regular group meeting on Friday, January 23, we are delighted to invite AAAI participants to visit our WING lab and experience the NUS Computing environment.

With our visitors, this group meeting had a special agenda:

Minzhi Li from WING NUS gave a presentation to debrief her 2025 internship experience.

Dr. Lu Gan (from GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences) gave a presentation about an AAAI paper from their team, titled “GSAP-ERE: Fine-Grained Scholarly Entity and Relation Extraction Focused on Machine Learning” (available here).

Finally, we had a round of self-introductions for all WING members as well as the visitors to socialize and discuss research.
