Co-founder
Reka

I am a co-founder of Reka, an AI startup building state-of-the-art multimodal language models. In addition, I am an Honorary Researcher at the University of the Basque Country, where I work at 20% dedication at the IXA research group. Prior to that, I was a Research Scientist at FAIR (Meta AI). I did my PhD at the University of the Basque Country, where I was advised by Eneko Agirre and Gorka Labaka. I also interned once at DeepMind and FAIR, and twice at Google.

My general research area is in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. My background is mostly on multilinguality, focusing on low-resource scenarios and, in particular, unsupervised machine translation and cross-lingual representation learning. More recently, I have been working on large language models.
