Olga Zamaraeva

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of A Coruña, Spain. I study relationships between human-authored and LLM-generated text, and I am interested in literary machine translation and creative AI. I have a background in syntactic theory.

Where I come from

Akademgorodok

I was born and grew up in a fantastic place called Akademgorodok near Novosibirsk, Russia. You can see a lot of forest if you zoom out.

It is a town built specifically for a University and a number of research institutes. My parents both worked in such institutes, and so did parents of most of my friends, and maybe that's why I decided to become a researcher myself.
