About

A researcher with opinions about models.

Doing applied NLP by day, asking awkward questions about it by night.

Portrait of Daria Galimzianova

I'm working on the practical side of language models — the part where they have to actually do something useful for someone.

I'm doing a PhD at MBZUAI in Abu Dhabi under the gentle supervision of Tim Baldwin. My research is about quantifying and measuring THE AUDACITY of LLMs — how confidently they fabricate, overclaim, and otherwise behave like they own the place.

Outside research I read too much, take too many photos of plants, and try to make websites that feel like rooms rather than dashboards.

Currently

Writing about LLM audacity. Reading about evaluation. Avoiding leaderboards.
