Luis Frentzen Salim Natural Language Processing PhD at MBZUAI, Computing and Mathematical Science Division. Working with Prof. Tatsuki Kuribayashi. Previously master's at Taiwan Tech CSIE, ML Lab. Research at IIS Academia Sinica, NLP and Sentiment Analysis Lab. Co-advised by Prof. Hsing-Kuo Pao and Prof. Lun-Wei Ku. My main research interest is about multilingual modeling. Including computational linguistics, cross-lingual transfer, and language representation study. Along the way, I have been peeking around adjacent areas such as tokenizers, in-context learning, and merging. A list of topics I am most interested in right now are: - Modularization of cognitive abilities in LMs - Second language acquisition in LMs - Language and cognition of multilingual LMs Full list of my work can be found in this page. I am always open to discuss (not strictly) these topics. Please reach me at luis.salim[at]mbzuai.ac.ae or on X. Other links: [a] github [b] linkedin
