About me

I am a natural language processing researcher at Naver Labs Europe in Grenoble, France, focusing on making recent NLP advances applicable across domains and languages. Together with colleagues, I am co-teaching an NLP course at CentraleSupelec and co-organizing an ALPS winter school.

Before joining NLE, I did my PhD on deep learning for source code processing at the Centre of Deep Learning and Bayesian Methods of the HSE University, where I was advised by Prof. Dmitry Vetrov, the head of our Bayesian Methods Research Group. I received my Bachelor's and Master's degrees at Moscow State University. At HSE, I also taught machine learning to Bachelor and Master students for 6 years and was selected by students for the Best Teacher award 3 times. During 2017-2019, I've been one of the main organizers of the Summer School on Deep Learning and Bayesian Methods.
