That's me!
I'm a PhD Student fascinated by dialects and language variations and the challenges they pose for NLP. I'm working on audio (i.e. speech) & text data.
Right now (August 2022 - March 2023) I'm visiting the Berkeley Speech and Computation Lab at UC Berkeley.
My SNSF Doc.CH funded project: LORELAI - LOw-REsource natural LAnguage processIng
There's more information on my Website & publications on Google Scholar.
