Alicja Ziarko

I am a Computer Science Ph.D. student at the University of Warsaw, supervised by Piotr Miłoś. My Ph.D. focuses on using learned representations to solve harder reasoning problems than those LLMs are currently able to handle. I am specifically interested in:
  • Using external tools for performing reasoning based on LLMs' internal knowledge
  • Adjusting LLM representations for performing downstream tasks
  • Learning structured representations to solve combinatorial reasoning tasks
I love hiking, sailing and bouldering!
