Hi, welcome.
I am a PhD student in the department of Computer Science at Cambridge University and I am part of the Natural Language and Information Processing Research Group. I am working on Natural Language Processing with Prof Andreas Vlachos. In particular, I am currently interested in parameter- and data-efficient fine-tuning of large pretrained language models (keywords: few-shot learning, meta-learning, active-learning).
