As one of Drago's current PhD students, I am still in shock and disbelief. Drago means so much more to me than the word "advisor" could ever entail. He is a great mentor, a good friend, and one of the kindest and most down-to-earth people I've ever known 1/

When I applied to PhD programs a few years ago, I got rejected from 14/15 schools I applied to, and Drago is the only one who accepted me. And it turns out I was not the only one in our lab. He always sees the best in the students and offers opportunities whenever he can 2/
@AnsongNi This must be challenging. I can't imagine what you have been going through. Drago contributed so much to the Columbia NLP community. If you and your lab mates need additional supervision or guidance for NLP research, Kathy and I would be happy to help in any possible way.
@AnsongNi So sorry for your loss, Ansong. This is a beautiful tribute.
