Fenia Christopoulou
I am an NLP Research Scientist at Huawei Noah’s Ark lab based in London.
My current interests lie in the intersection of natural and programming languages and how we can develop models that effectively handle both modalities. I am also interested in improving LLMs reasoning capabilities via memory mechanisms and continual learning taking inspiration from human cognition.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the NaCTeM group of the University of Manchester, where I also obtained my PhD, advised by Prof. Sophia Ananiadou. During this time, I was fortunate to work with Prof. Makoto Miwa. My research focused mainly on information extraction by recognising relations between named entities within and across sentences in fully- and distantly-supervised settings.
Prior to my PhD, I studied Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (BEng & MEng).
