Hi there. I am Evgeniia Tokarchuk. I am NLP and machine learning researcher specializing in representation geometry, neural machine translation, retrieval-augmented models, and efficient modeling. My PhD was completed at the Language Technology Lab, University of Amsterdam under the supervision of Dr. Vlad Niculae, whom I was honored to work with.

Before that, I recieved my master’s degree at RWTH Aachen University, where my research path began at the Human Language Technology and Pattern Recognition Group. My master thesis “Tight Model Integration for Pivot-based Neural Machine Translation” was the result of a collaboration with eBay Aachen. Along the way, I was fortunate to work with great mentors and collaborators.

Outside of research, I enjoy reading and traveling. I am also a member of the Dutch Haedong Kumdo Association and I practice Haedong Kumdo Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu at Dojo Den Drijver in Amsterdam. In addition, I am involved in local volunteering initiative aiming to support Ukraine 🇺🇦
