About me

I am a postdoctoral research associate at the Princeton Center for Digital Humanities, and my work focuses on developing technologies for low resource African languages. Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the RIKEN Centre for Advanced Intelligence Project, in the Approximate Bayesian Inference Team where I spent time investigating the use of natural-gradient Bayesian methods to improve uncertainty estimation in PLMs.

I completed my Ph.D. in the Knowledge & Data Engineering Lab at the University of Tsukuba in Japan. During my Ph.D, I was lucky to be advised by Prof. Toshiyuki Amagasa on making use of machine learning and computational linguistics to reason about language and knowledge. I focused on question answering over knowledge base systems.
