About Me
I am a PhD student at the DKW group at the Department of Computer Science at Aalborg University, supervised by Johannes Bjerva (Aalborg University) and Robert Östling (Stockholm University). I work on combining methods and findings from linguistic typology with natural language processing (NLP). In particular, I am interested in (multilingual) machine translation. These are some questions that I have been working on recently:
- What is typological diversity, and how can we systematically select diverse evaluation languages in multilingual NLP?
- How can we use computational methods to compare languages on a large scale? How does it compare to information in typological databases?
- How does machine-generated language differ from human-written language? How can we for example influence lexical diversity in generated text?
I am passionate about diversity in computer science research, and give workshops to high school students about working on machine translation. Over time, this workshop has been attended by more than 170 students across multiple events.
