Hey, I’m Anej.1
I’m a second-year PhD fellow at the ETH AI Center, working at the intersection of formal language theory and modern language models. I try to understand what models like transformers and RNNs can (and can’t) do—what problems they can provably solve, what aspects of language they capture, and whether they can actually “reason”. You can find my research here.
I’m co-advised by Prof. Ryan Cotterell and Prof. Valentina Boeva. Before my PhD, I did a master’s in data science at ETH Zürich and a bachelor’s in computer science & mathematics at the University of Ljubljana. If you’re curious, my full CV is here.
Outside of research
I like reading, cooking, running, and hiking. I also like spend an unreasonable amount of time on aquascaping—the art of designing underwater landscapes. It’s niche, but a lot of fun.
The easiest way is to imagine saying “an a” in American English. Not perfect, but close enough. ↩
