Hi, I'm Farid!

I am a researcher in the NLP Department at MBZUAI, Abu Dhabi with Dr. Alham Fikri Aji. My work focuses on efficient learning, multilinguality, and multicultural adaptation for Large Language Models (LLMs). I am collaborating with Prof. Monojit Choudhury to systematically survey and evaluate current research on cultural aspects in LLMs. Additionally, during my internship at UKP Lab, TU Darmstadt, I am working with Prof. Iryna Gurevych on Cultural Value Adaptation using Parameter-Efficient Modules in LLMs.

In 2023, I graduated cum laude and as the youngest graduate with a Master’s in Intelligent Systems from Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia. I collaborated with Dr. Ayu Purwarianti, Genta Indra Winata, and Samuel Cahyawijaya on unseen languages generalization. I graduated from Institut Teknologi Bandung with a B.S. in Computer Science in 2022. My undergraduate thesis on studying language models’ code-mixing robustness in Indonesian local languages was published in the SUMEval Workshop at AACL 2022 and covered by Bloomberg.
