What is my role within CATALPA?

As a researcher in Natural Language Processing (NLP), I am trying to future-proof NLP systems and make them robust against dynamically changing language.

Why CATALPA?

While humans understand and create language effortlessly, state of the art AI models lack this ability.
I hope to find ways to bridge this gap with the help of the colleagues in CATALPA, using the interdisciplinary environment to spark new ideas from unexpected angles to remedy this shortcoming.
