I’m an MS Computer Science student at the George Washington University, and a visiting student at New York University working with Prof. Duygu Ataman. I have co-founded aLLMA Lab to promote NLP research for Azerbaijani language. My current research interests include multilingual language modeling and adversarial attacks on LLMs. So far, I have had a chance to work on the following problems:
- Neural spelling correction for agglutinative languages.
- Building web-scale text corpus and monolingual LLMs for Azerbaijani.
- Developing contex-sensitive retrieval-augmented generation.
- Benchmarking SOTA LLMs’ NLU capabilities on Turkic languages.
- Prompt compression via adversarial attack algorithms.
Before joining NYU, I was a lead machine learning engineer at PRODATA LLC, where I lead multiple industry projects on customer chatbots. Before that, I was a machine learning engineer at Azerbaijan AI Lab (within Azercosmos), where I developed spelling correction software for internal use of certain government agencies. I completed my bachelor’s degree on Biomedical Engineering at Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University.
