Publications
1.
Explainable Energy Communities with Generative AI
IEEE ISGT, 2024
Introduces a generative-AI interface for Renewable Energy Communities that enables natural-language
queries over optimization and forecasting workflows. Demonstrates improved transparency and decision
support in case studies of community energy management.
2.
Signer Overlap in Sign Language Detection
Preprint, 2023
Shows that training/test signer overlap inflates performance in sign-language detection. Proposes
non-overlapping splits and reports a measurable drop when overlap is removed, arguing for more
realistic evaluation protocols.
3.
Clean Text & Full-Body Transformer for Sign Language Translation
WMT22, 2022
Describes a system that couples full-body visual features with careful target-text cleaning to address
large vocabulary and data scarcity in SLT. Achieves state-of-the-art results in the WMT'22 task with
strong human evaluation.
Projects
Blog Summarizer
MIT Sundai Club
04/25
Built Blog to Talking Head Video Generator. This repo transforms blog post content into engaging
short videos featuring an AI talking head.
GenAI UX Best Practices
BMW
10/24 - 02/25
Researched and defined UX/UI best practices for GenAI products and tools to boost their integration
and ease-of-use for all categories of employees and for all use-cases. The efficacity of the then
defined approach was proven through user-experiments and feedback.
Unbiased Cathode
MIT Energy and Climate Hackathon
11/24
LLM-based co-pilot for battery material researchers that helps them quickly understand the
supply-chain constraints (E, S and G) of the materials they are using in their experiments.
Konvolut
CDTM
10/22 - 02/23
Built an ESG reporting co-pilot and early supply chain risk detector for SMEs. It relies on sentiment
analysis from specialized data sources to detect any warning signs from known suppliers, as well as
suggest potential alternatives. Additionally, it generates compliance reports seamlessly.
