Projects
Relics (2024)
Local LLM game dialogue system with an on-device RAG pipeline. Runs fully on the player’s machine to keep latency low and protect user privacy. Built as part of Espoo Game Lab; included retrieval design, prompt routing, and evaluation of story coherence.
RPG-GPT (Master’s thesis, 2023)
Creative NLG for RPG NPCs. Extracted dialogue from popular RPGs and fine-tuned Microsoft’s GODEL to act as an “RPG chatbot.” Conducted a user study on relevance and engagement; found that task-oriented game dialogue (TOGD) with external knowledge improves player experience.
Multilingual Persuasion Detection (DiGRA 2022)
First-author paper with a multilingual persuasion dataset from RPG dialogue (EN, ES, DE, FR, IT). Compared monolingual vs. multilingual BERT models, showing strong gains from domain-aligned monolingual models. Released data and models openly (12 citations).
Multi-label text classification (Reuters, 126 labels)
Course project using RoBERTa with BCEWithLogitsLoss and class weighting to handle severe imbalance. Achieved macro F1 0.61 (micro F1 0.77) on the dev set; 2nd out of 9 teams. Report
Diachronic embeddings for semantic change (Bachelor’s thesis)
Trained TWEC-based diachronic embeddings on Reddit (2006-2019) to analyze semantic shift. PCA visualizations showed metaphorical change (e.g., “toxic” moving from chemical to social contexts). Thesis PDF
