Background
- Research interests: at the intersection of Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Long-term vision: transforming LLMs into responsible, reliable and trustworthy systems, available and fair across languages and different socio-demographic groups. Research focuses on: (1) Control and interpretation of models: understanding model behavior and controlling model generation; (2) Reliability, safety and fairness: making models more consistent and safe, and mitigating biases and risks; (3) Multilinguality: creating NLP tools that equitably serve speakers of as many languages as possible, as well as understanding the emergent property of cross-linguality in models. Additionally, recently developed an interest in employing NLP tools and methodologies in the health domain.
