About

I am a Director of Machine Learning Research at Cambridge Cognition, where I improve the products using language technology. I am also a Science Lead at the ARVA non-profit, where I lead research efforts in AI safety. I participated in the development of the BLOOM large language model and led the organization of the End-to-End NLG shared task which set a new research agenda for neural text generation. My research was published in well-regarded journals and conferences, such as Interspeech, NAACL and EMNLP.
