About
Odunayo Ogundepo
LLM Researcher and Applied Scientist.
I’m an Applied Scientist at Amazon working on Alexa Personalization. Part of my work focuses on helping Alexa learn useful information from a user’s interactions and apply the right user memories at the right moment.
Before Amazon, I was a Senior Data Scientist at LexisNexis, where I worked on retrieval-augmented generation, conversational search, entity linking, and named entity recognition.
I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo, supervised by Prof. Jimmy Lin. I’m deeply interested in improving NLP systems for African languages, and I collaborate on research and side projects with people across different companies and research communities.
Experience
My professional work spans applied science, personalization, retrieval-augmented generation, conversational search, entity linking, named entity recognition, data quality, and model evaluation.
