Academic Achievements
  • Published papers at several key conferences including the International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing & Asia-Pacific Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, covering topics such as Language Arithmetics, Modular Arithmetic, Cross-Prompt Encoder, etc.
Research Experience
  • NLP & AI Researcher @ DFKI; Acting director of the Multilinguality and Language Technology (MLT) lab @ DFKI; Interim chair holder for translation-oriented language technologies @ Saarland University; Research group lead Efficient and Explainable NLP (E&E) @ MLT.
Background
  • Research Interests: Transparent and robust language models and technologies; low-resource languages; reducing model size for deployment in resource-constrained environments. Specializes in Explainable Artificial Intelligence and Mechanistic Interpretability.
Miscellany
  • Also interested in exploring the factuality of model-generated outputs and has worked on multimodal models.
