Polina Tsvilodub

I am a third-year PhD student in Cognitive Science in the Cognitive Science & Pragmatics group, working with Michael Franke. I am excited about understanding pragmatic, goal-directed language generation and interpretation, both in humans and machines. My work combines (large) language models, human experimental research and probabilistic modeling. I have been working on relevant question answering, assessing language models on various pragmatic phenomena, and on integrating computational cognitive models with language models in order to explaining more naturalistic, open-ended pragmatic language use.

I am passionate about teaching and building the Cognitive Science community, so I have helped organize several events. My CV can be found here.
