Hi! I am Ahmed Salem Mohamed Elhady….or just Salem!

I am a PhD Research Student at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) under the supervision of Mikel Artetxe and Eneko Agirre.

I am working on the analysis and improvement of multi-lingual capabilities in Large Language Models.

Before embarking on my PhD, I worked as an Applied Data Scientist at Microsoft Bing’s news and content moderation and understanding (now part of web and windows experience). I also worked as an Applied Data Scientist at Implicit.ai (formerly Agolo), a Microsoft-backed startup, where I worked on multiple projects building summarization solutions for elite clients such as Franklin Templeton, Acuity, Associated Press. All the projects are part of Microsoft’s Azure services now.
