Ongoing projects
- Lie auto-encoders with Tolga and Matthias.
- LLM domain adaptation with Firat and Beyza.
- Continuous-time optimal control with David Leeftink and Steffen Ridderbusch.
MSc theses I currectly supervised

- Knowledge organization for continual question answering (with Atahan Özer).
- Mechanistic understanding of forgetting in LLMs (with Nitin Sharma).
Looking for projects?
- Linear algebraic compression of transformers for efficient inference.
- Continual learning of transformers by low-rank reduction.
- Personalized LLMs via RAG.
