About Me

My introduction
Profile Picture

I am an interdisciplinary researcher working at the intersection of computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, and digital humanities. My work integrates quantitative text analysis, natural language processing, and literary interpretation. I am currently developing statistical and thematic models for Middle English narrative structure, with a focus on ambiguity, authorship, and systemic-functional linguistic characterization.

I am preparing for graduate studies in AI, NLP, or digital humanities, and I am actively engaged in cross-disciplinary collaborations across humanities and computer-science domains.

Gawain or Gawain't?
Abstract

Often, large language models (LLMs) hallucinate or give false information when answering user queries. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technique that mitigates this by allowing the LLM to access a knowledge base of relevant documents. This project implements a RAG pipeline and evaluates its performance qualitatively.
