Ivana Balažević


I am a Research Scientist at Google DeepMind.

I obtained my PhD from The University of Edinburgh, where I was supervised by Tim Hospedales and Ivan Titov. The focus of my PhD was on learning representations of entities and relations from knowledge graph data. During my PhD, I interned at the Samsung AI Center Cambridge and at Facebook AI Research (FAIR) with Sebastian Riedel. I hold a BSc in Computer Science from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb, an MSc in Computer Science from the Technische Universität Berlin and an MSc in Data Science from the University of Edinburgh.
