MTS @ Cohere
I am a member of Technical Staff at Cohere working to improve language modelling for code. Previously, I was within the ILCC/EdinburghNLP group as a postdoc and a PhD student working on multilingual structured prediction problems (semantic parsing and then retrieval).
I interned at AI2 in 2023 and Apple Siri in 2018. Previously, I completed an MSc(R) in Data Science at the University of Edinburgh, and an MPhil in Computer Science at The Computer Lab ā working with Ann Copestake on multimodal semantics. My undergrad was at UCL EEE ā working with Polina Bayvel on hardware optimisation for optical signal processing.
Iām interested in code generation, cross-lingual transfer, croissants and kayaking.
