Associate Professor
Computational linguist and researcher in natural language processing (NLP).
Natural language processing and machine learning
I am associate professor at the division Artificial Intelligence and Integrated Computer Systems (AIICS) at the Department of Computer and Information Science (IDA).
I am a computational linguist and researcher in natural language processing (NLP). My research interests revolve around NLP and machine learning in challenging scenarios, such as under-resourced languages, multilinguality, or historical documents. I am particularly interested in linguistically-informed approaches to NLP, as well as bringing improvements in NLP technology to a wider range of languages and text genres.
CV in brief
PhD
- I have obtained my PhD degree (Dr. phil.) in Computational Linguistics at Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany, in 2018.
