Katrina Bennett is a AI Research Engineer. Colleagues describe her as "It was a pleasure to be part of the Autonomous Animation team at Soul Machines when Katrina joined us as part of our summer Callaghan Internship intake several years ago. She shone from the beginning, bringing her intelligence and creativity to the challenge of helping us build our Natural Language Processing driven text-to-gesture system. Katrina was then hired into the Cognitive Architecture team, creating excellent documentation for the team, handling complex runtime testing, and working with researchers at Auckland University. Katrina is such a pleasure to work with; she's sparky and brilliant, and I’m so excited to see her progress in the future." and "Katrina is a super bright, logical thinker, with a fantastic ability to maintain a clear head at any time. At Soul Machines, she has been my go-to for help with problem solving, code organization, and debugging. Together we have worked on integration of ML models with logic-based systems, engaging with key stakeholders and implementing their feedback, thorough manual testing of complex digital people, documentation and upgrade of legacy code, and lots more. In our small team, a huge variety of work can come your way, and Katrina adapts quickly and grabs opportunities to learn new skills. On top of this she is a lovely person, and a pleasure to work with. Good luck out there Katrina, your new team will be lucky to have you!"
