About

Mira Vesterlund is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computing at Nordvik Technical University, where they lead the Scholarly Systems Lab. Their research asks how machine learning can describe research and researchers without inventing anything: structured generation with evidence guards, deterministic identity resolution, and living documents that stay current from the indexes rather than from memory.

Before Nordvik they were a research scientist at the fictional Helix Institute and a postdoctoral fellow at Example University. They co-organise the Workshop on Scholarly Document Processing and serve as an area chair for ICLR and NeurIPS.

This page is a fictional example. Every name, institution and paper on it is invented to show what a CSPaper personal page can contain.

News

  • Grounded Page Synthesis was selected for an oral at ICLR 2026.

  • New OpenPrint published on CSPaper: Living Pages.

  • Awarded the Example Foundation Early Career Fellowship.

  • Invited talk at the Nordic Seminar on Research Infrastructure.

Research interests

  • Grounded generationStructured outputs that quote their sources, and guards that drop anything unsupported.
  • Scholarly identityResolving who wrote what from verified institutional signals rather than name strings.
  • Living documentsPages and reports that keep themselves current from authoritative indexes.
  • Peer review infrastructureDecision signals, tags and provenance as first-class metadata.
