Background
- Research interests lie in machine learning methods for natural language processing (NLP), particularly deep learning.
- Focuses on enhancing model robustness (e.g., in low-resource scenarios) and explainability.
- Key application areas include audiovisual media creation and analysis, such as multimodal large language models, image generation, and audio generation.
- Past application areas include speech recognition, information extraction for knowledge graph population, and multimodal scientific text mining.
- Currently co-supervising two PhD theses: one on transfer learning and continual learning for low-resource and multilingual NLP, and another on NLP beyond sentences with a focus on table question answering.
