Evgenia Ilia
PhD candidate
I am a third year PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam. I am a member of the Probabll Lab, supervised by Wilker Aziz and
I am interested in Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing. More specifically, I am interested in investigating questions about the uncertainty of language generators, including analysing how current models' exhibit uncertainty, evaluating current uncertainty estimates and proposing improved quantifiers.
