Antonios Anastasopoulos receives the National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award!

Antonios Anastasopoulos, an Assistant Professor at the Computer Science Department at George Mason University, USA, and a Lead Researcher at Archimedes, Athena Research Center, Greece, received the prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award to conduct research on LLMs and address the problem of LLM linguistic fluency in languages that do not have sufficient internet data in order to train Large Language Models.

As he mentions “We don’t have data online for 2000 languages—only about 200. But we do have grammatical descriptions of them because linguists have written books about these languages. If we can teach an LLM what’s in those books, along with additional data, we should be able to make the models proficient in these languages.”

Congratulations Antonios!
