Google Research Dr. Otilia Stretcu is a Senior Research Scientist at Google Research in Mountain View, California, working on methods and tools that enable non-AI-practitioners to efficiently train and deploy AI models for specialized applications using only domain knowledge. This work spans across multiple the areas including large language models, active learning, few-shot learning, and knowledge distillation. Previously, she was a PhD student in the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University, co-advised by Prof. Tom Mitchell and Prof. Barnabàs Pòczos. Her PhD research focused on developing algorithms for curriculum learning, semi-supervised learning, and graph-based learning, and applying them on problems related to health and neuroscience. Prior to her PhD, Otilia received an MPhil from the University of Cambridge, UK, where she was a Gates Cambridge scholar, and a BEng from Politehnica University of Timisoara, Romania. During her master studies she published her first publication with oral presentation at one of the top Conference Computer Vision (British Machine Vision Conference 2015) together with Prof. Univ. Dr. Marius Leordeanu.
