Clara Meister

I’m a postdoc at EPFL in Antoine Bosselut’s NLP Lab, working on tokenization and methods for multilingual language modeling, with a focus on low-resource settings. I also continue to lecture for the MAS in AI and Digital Technology continuing studies programme at ETH Zürich. Previously, I did my PhD at ETH, supported by a Google PhD Fellowship. A large portion of my research has been on natural language generation—specifically, on decoding methods for probabilistic models. Lately, I’m particularly interested in tokenization strategies for language models and cross-lingual fairness in tokenization. See my Google Scholar page for an up-to-date list of publications. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss research!

I’m also a co-founder and organizer of Zürich AI, Switzerland’s largest machine learning meetup, which hosts regular events bridging industry and academia at the ETH AI Center.

In my free time, I like to trail run, cook and drink wine (only the last two are done simultaneously).
