I am Elena (Lena) Voita, a Ph.D. student at the University of Edinburgh and University of Amsterdam. I’m very happy to be supervised by Ivan Titov and Rico Sennrich.
I’m supported by the Facebook PhD Fellowship (2020-2022).
Previously, I was a research scientist at Yandex Research and worked closely with the Yandex Translate team. I (still) teach NLP at the Yandex School of Data Analysis.
