👀 Have you heard? #EACL2026 will be in beautiful Rabat, Morocco 🇲🇦 🏖️🕌🌴🌊 Get ready for great research, inspiring talks, and stunning views!

One week ago today, I was at #NAACL in Albuquerque, New Mexico presenting a poster on our work about creating LLMs for extremely low-resource Finno-Ugric languages. It was an experience for sure — and likely my last conference as a PhD student 🥹 #NAACL25

Exploring Sandia Peak and enjoying the last days in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

We’re presenting our poster today at #NAACL25 in Albuquerque! We're in Session C (Oral/Poster 2), 14:00–15:30, Hall 3. Stop by and say hi! 😊

Doesn't work for me in Google search but I created one using Google AI studio

Exploring Kallaste and enjoying +12°C while others are enjoying +25°C 😁 Something haunting but beautiful about this place at this time of the year.

I'm actually quite excited that the Nordic Conference on Computational Linguistics (@nodalida.bsky.social) is so close to home this year. I thought I'd miss traveling, but I can see the perks of it now 😁

Our research group, together with our collaborators, received the University of Tartu's annual language award for the Neurotõlge translation engine that supports 23 Finno-Ugric languages, many of which are endangered. Proud to be part of this inspiring team! 😊 Congratulations to everyone! 🎉

Since it's Valentine's Day, allow me to share some important Valentine's Day news from last year:

I have a post-doc position to study the effect of AI on education. How can we ensure that AI tools enhance natural intelligence? The position is a part of the Estonian Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence. Please repost - not easy to get people to work in Estonia 🥶 #edusky #neuroAI

Happy to share that our paper "LLMs for Extremely Low-Resource Finno-Ugric Languages" got accepted at #NAACL2025 Findings 😊 Looking forward to Albuquerque 👀
