A bit more context

Welcome to my study space. I’m Lucia, a second-year PhD student in AI at UniPi. My main research interest is Interpretability and Representation learning in NLP.

Outside research, I spend my time learning languages, making music, reading, and bouldering 🧗. These hobbies take up a lot of my attention, so please be patient if other things move a little more slowly. I keep these notes personal and practical: mostly for myself, but hopefully useful to others too.
