Christos Baziotis
I am a machine learning researcher and member of the founding team of Samaya AI. We are developing a knowledge discovery platform that leverages large language models to extract insights from vast amounts of data to support domain experts in decision-making.
Before joining Samaya, I did my PhD at the ILCC in the University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Barry Haddow and Alexandra Birch. During my Ph.D., I did internships as Research Scientist at Meta AI (FAIR) in Menlo Park and as Applied Scientist at Amazon AI in Palo Alto.
Before starting my PhD, I was a research assistant working on unsupervised summarization at the National Technical University of Athens with Ion Androutsopoulos and Alexandros Potamianos.
Research Interests
My research focuses on the intersection of machine learning and natural language processing (NLP). In particular, I am interested in text generation (e.g., summarization or machine translation), information retrieval, and enabling models to learn with limited supervision.
