Research

My research focuses on Natural Language Processing and Large Language Models, with particular interest in trustworthy and personalized NLP.

I am also interested in machine learning theory, algorithms and optimization, particularly in the theoretical analysis of user-conditioned objective functions and the geometry and topology of loss landscapes.

My recent work includes multilingual humor detection, reclaimed and harmful language detection, retrieval-augmented methods, and the evaluation of large language models.
