Machine Learning Researcher, part-time
Moscow, Russia
- Develop abstention for OCC-RAG-1.7B, the institute's in-house RAG model: it declines unsupported answers in one pass, without a GPU.
- Showed that a small probe on hidden states predicts when to decline (AUROC 0.82), so no second LLM is needed as a checker.
- Built the evaluation suite and runtime the team now works from.
