Project aims:

Vasilisa’s PhD Studentship will examine the ethical implications of natural language processing. The aim of this project will be to perform research in natural language processing (NLP) towards identifying and exploring methods for the ethical development of NLP tools. The project will consider how NLP and machine learning are currently falling short in engaging with ethical development practices—particularly surrounding methods for addressing biases and social harms in models—and examine how such practices can be improved for the benefit of end-users and society more broadly.

Research Themes:

  • Natural Language Processing

  • Low Resource Languages

  • Bias and Fairness in Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing
