Argyrios Papoudakis
I’m a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh and part of the CDT in NLP program, supervised by Prof. Frank Keller and Prof. Mirella Lapata. My research interests include long-context modeling, reasoning and evaluation, as well as text generation and efficiency.
Previously, I studied Electrical and Computer Engineering (5-year degree) in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I also worked as a research scientist in Visual Computing Lab at CERTH for six months. I was a developer in Google Summer of Code with the Red Hen Lab organization the summer of 2022.
