Welcome!

I'm an MIT sophomore from Ukraine studying AI and Linguistics.

Background

Low-Resource NLP

I'm passionate about making language technologies more linguistically diverse and inclusive.

Targeted Syntactic Evaluations ⋅ In 2024, I worked with Prof. Roger Levy at the Computational Psycholinguistics Lab on applying the targeted syntactic evaluation methodology to assess multilingual LMs' knowledge of grammars of low-resource languages. I presented the paper that resulted from this research at the LoResLM workshop at COLING 2025 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Phonetic Transfer Learning ⋅ My team's final project for MIT's NLP class explored finetuning on phonetic input as a means to facilitate knowledge transfer between related languages in multilingual LMs.

OCR ⋅ I trained a suite of OCR engines for low-resource writing systems and integrated them with a usable Flask app. See the GitHub repo for the app, model training code, and a technical report.

Linguistics Olympiads

I represented Ukraine at four editions of the International Linguistics Olympiad:

The participation experience taught me to think outside the box of my native language and culture and look for imaginative problem solutions.
IOL 2023 in Bansko, Bulgaria.

I still support the linguistics olympiad community by creating and testing problems. Below is a list of contests where I served as a member of the Problem Committee, along with problems I wrote:
