Gül Sena Altıntaş

Hello, I am Gül Sena (/ɡuːl se’na/) ! I am a first year Computer Science PhD student at UofT working with Colin Raffel. My research focuses on democratizing machine learning through collaborative model development, with emphasis on decentralization, multilinguality, and accessibility. I study model compositionality, training dynamics, and systematic approaches to understanding fundamental design choices in large language models. Prior to my PhD, I completed my masters at ETH Zürich and my bachelors at Koç University.
