About Linda
AI Researcher & Multilingual Advocate
I'm a passionate AI researcher exploring how large language models can reflect cultural diversity and reason like humans. My work spans multilingual NLP, code-switching, RAG, and data augmentation methods. Also a nationally awarded writer, dancer, and choreographer, I love bridging STEM, humanities, and the arts to champion diverse voices!
Research Projects
I conduct research that pushes the boundaries of natural language processing, focusing on multilingual code-switching, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), reasoning in large language models, and data augmentation techniques. Explore selected publications, projects, and papers below.
