About me

Hi! I’m a PhD student in the CDT in Natural language processing at the University of Edinburgh, where I work with Sharon Goldwater and Hao Tang, and collaborate with Naomi Feldman.

In my research, I study how self-supervised models of speech encode information about speakers or about context (neighboring phones). More generally, I want to understand how humans and models acquire and process language.

Email me (oli.liu) here: ed.ac.uk to talk about my research or Edinburgh or speech or NLP or cognitive science :)
