Eva Schlinger

I’m Eva, a Research Software Engineer at Google. I’m currently a member of the NYC NLP research group. I have been at Google Research since 2015, primarily working on different aspects of entities and semantics. Prior to joining Google, I was at CMU and did research on Machine Translation and multilinguality with Chris Dyer and Noah Smith.

I spend a lot of my free time juggling.

Juggling

I spend a lot of my time juggling, traveling to juggling festivals, and teaching workshops. I pass clubs, sometimes in patterns with multiple people, sometimes with movement and stealing of clubs. For instance:

While at CMU I was the president of the juggling club. The club is still going strong, and now organizes a Pittsburgh juggling festival along with the local flow and circus arts community.
