About
At the intersection of human cognition and artificial systems, I research the foundations of intelligence, reasoning, and decision-making mechanisms.
Biography
I am currently pursuing my research as an independent researcher in the Cognitive Science program at Yeditepe University and Computational Intelligence group at Istanbul University. Prior to that, I worked in industry for 14 years on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence; I led teams in Engineering Management and Director of AI Engineering positions and built artificial intelligence systems. In the fast-paced world of industry, my passion for getting to the root of the problem rather than just producing practical solutions led me to academia and independent research.

Reasoning Space: Diversity All You Need
M. Emre Bilgin
arXiv 2025
tldr We show that diversity in the reasoning space — rather than model scale — is the key factor for robust generalization in complex reasoning tasks.
VERIFIER: Cross-validation Reasoning via MultiAgent Debate
M. Emre Bilgin
NeurIPS 2024
tldr We propose VERIFIER, a cross-validation reasoning framework where multiple agents debate to improve the reliability and accuracy of reasoning under uncertainty.
