Samia Touileb is currently a researcher in MediaFutures WP5 on Norwegian Language Technologies. Prior to this she was a Postdoc at the Language Technology Group (LTG), Department of Informatics, at the University of Oslo. She holds a PhD in Natural Language Processing (NLP) from the University of Bergen, and has been working within research in and applications of NLP for almost a decade.
Her main research interests are information extraction, sentiment analysis, bias and fairness in NLP, and applications of NLP and machine learning methods to tasks within social science research. She also mainly works on under- and mid-resourced languages such as Norwegian.
