I'm Arsen Bakhitbekov,
Multilingual AI Researcher
Based in Almaty.

NIS Almaty student who speaks 7 languages, solves 7×7 Rubik’s cubes, and plays the dombra while exploring how large language models behave across cultures. I research multilingual NLP and will present my work at international student conferences. I also built DragNScroll — a TikTok-style AI platform experimenting with new ways of learning Chinese. I enjoy finding unusual ways to combine language, algorithms, and learning.

Cross-Lingual LLM Bias Research

Independent Researcher

Sept 2023 - Present

Studying how large language models such as Jais-30B and Llama-3 change response depth, confidence, and structure when prompts are translated across English, Russian, Chinese, and Kazakh. Built a multilingual prompt dataset and evaluation pipeline to measure differences in response length, structural complexity, and informational density across languages.

AI-Driven Business Chinese Learning Platform

NLP Developer (Research Project)

2023

YDF-2026 · Mar 31

Developed an AI-based web platform simulating real-world business negotiation dialogues in Chinese using a conversational NLP chatbot. As the project evolved, the exploration grew into a research study on AI-assisted language learning. The work will be presented at the Youth Digital Forum (YDF-2026).

2-StringTraditional Dombra

🇰🇿Native Heritage

Mastering the Dombra — Kazakhstan's defining national instrument — for over 5 years. Its polyphonic structure demands the same pattern recognition and structured memory as training transformer models: recurring motifs, temporal dependencies, precise sequential execution.

This cultural discipline grounds my pursuit of AI in deep authenticity — a researcher who understands that language and music are both compressions of human meaning.
