Since January 1st, 2019 I have been working under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Anette Frank at the Department of Computational Linguistics at Heidelberg University. My research focused on measuring how well vision and language models integrate their modalities for achieving multimodal understanding. Specifically, I analysed this through model benchmarking, interpretation, and self-explanations.

I've successfully defended my PhD Thesis in July 2024, and I will stop updating this website from now on. Everything you see below will serve as a snapshot of my achievements during my time as a PhD student. If you are curios about the general picture of this time, I ahave made a video about it!
Anette Frank and Letitia Parcalabescu are participating since its beginning in the COST Action Multi3Generation: Multi-task, Multilingual, Multi-modal Language Generation, initiated by Isabelle Augenstein. We are members of the management committee as representatives for Germany. We are looking forward to collaborating in this great network activity.
Invited talk at the Datafest Yerevan Conference (2024). I'll be talking about own work measuring the self-consistency of self-explanations generated by LLMs and VLMs.
Appeared at the Deep Learning with Letitia Parcalabescu - Weaviate Podcast #96! where we discussed YouTube in the ML space, current trends and the evolution of deep learning. Tune in!
Happening in Florence at the VOICES festival! 🗺️ I will speak in a panel about Artificial Intelligence to a broad audience. We'll explore the question "Which skills do I need to benefit from AI technology?"

☕⚔️🍵 We had a pair-AMA session with Sanyam Bhutani Sanyam Bhutani hosted by Weights & Biases's Head of Data Science, Dr. Bryan Bischof. We talked about educational content, videos in ML and about the AI and ML community in general. Check it out by clicking on the arrow to the right.
We had a conversation about AI (mis)conceptions at EAVI - Media Literacy for Citizenship. Check out the textual summary or the recording by clicking on the arrow to the right.
