Mehrdad Farahani

I am currently in the third year of my PhD at Chalmers University of Technology, which I began in 2022 under the supervision of Richard Johansson (CHT) and Gabriel Skantze (KTH) as part of “Representation Learning for Conversational AI,” project funded by WASP.

The main project goal is essentially to investigate how general representations can be learned in a self-supervised manner. It has many phases, including Data consolidation, Representation learning, Model analysis, and Evaluation on downstream tasks. I have decided to focus on smaller parts of this big puzzle. As a result, my research is now centered on the controllability and interpretability of language models within Conversational AI.
