Akshita Bhagia

I am a Senior Research Engineer on the AllenNLP team, involved in R&D for natural language processing (NLP). Most recently, I have been working on the OLMo project, where I have contributed to

• pretraining dataset construction
• model training and inference
• evaluation tools and benchmark

I have also worked on open-source libraries such as allennlp, ai2-tango, etc.

I graduated with a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2020, where I worked with Prof. Mohit Iyyer at the intersection of NLP and digital humanities.

Previously, I have worked at Cerebellum Capital (Summer 2019), and at InFoCusp (2015-2018), where I worked on building a data science platform.
