by Hercules Dalianis

Dear NLP group Invited speech by professor Elena Volodina, professor at Språkbanken Text; Dpt. Swedish, Multilingualism, Language Technology, University of Gothenburg. Time: Tuesday, June 3, at 14-15.00 Place: Lilla Hörsalen Title: Open access to research data and automatic pseudonymization. Two years with Mormor Karl project. Abstract: This talk will be devoted to the challenges of working with data that contains personal information. I will describe a set of experiments with automatic pseudonymization that we have performed within Mormor Karl project<https://mormor-karl.github.io/>. Among others, experiments with detection and labeling of personal categories using BERT models (Szawerna et al. 2024, 2025), attempts att using LLMs to "fill in the blanks" when substituting personal information with pseudonyms (yet unpublished) and a study on whether pseudonyms can provoke biased automated classifications (Muñoz Sánchez et al. 2024). The choice of models for our experiments is currently dictated by the sensitive nature of our data. To extend the choice from open source to proprietary models, we are currently collecting a "pseudo-corpus" with fictitious personal information that we will be able to share freely for future research (you are welcome to contribute to the pseudo-corpus collection<https://forms.gle/t4ynDJwqfmFXYitPA> as well). Finally, in this talk I will name several strategies to unify the research on automatic pseudonymization, and outline further challenges, needs for standardization and a proposal of a shared task. * Maria Irena Szawerna, Simon Dobnik, Ricardo Muñoz Sánchez, and Elena Volodina. 2025.

Fwd: Doktorandfestivalen @ SU

by Thomas Vakili

Hi all, I received this invitation and thought I would share it with you, in particular with the rest of the PhD students! I attended last year and had a really fruitful afternoon. It was also a good opportunity to share what I'm working on at DSV and learn what the linguists are doing. Some of the PhD students are doing research in NLP, others are doing NLP-adjacent work (and of course some are doing more purely linguistic research). Best regards, Thomas Vakili *____________________________________* *Thomas Vakili* PhD student Department of Computer and Systems Sciences *Stockholm University* Borgarfjordsgatan 12, Kista Tel: +46 8-16 16 59 https://vakili.science *____________________________________* -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Doktorandfestivalen @ SU Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2025 10:43:05 +0100 From: Crina Madalina Tudor <crina.tudor(a)ling.su.se> To: Thomas Vakili <thomas.vakili(a)dsv.su.se> Hi Thomas, I hope this email finds you well!
