I am an Assistant Professor of Natural Language Processing in IXA Group, part of the HiTZ Centre of the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU.
My current research focuses on creating resources and evaluation procedures for under-resourced languages and scenarios, including multimodal LLMs. Previously, I worked extensively on cross-lingual methods, weak supervision, multi-task learning, domain adaptation, as well as sentiment and emotion analysis.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Language Technology Group at the University of Oslo, where I worked on creating sentiment resources and models for Norwegian (SANT project). Before that, I was a PhD student at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, working on cross-lingual sentiment analysis for under-resourced languages. During my PhD, I also spent a year at the University of Stuttgart on a research stay funded by the IMS.
01.2024 - We have started the LUMINOUS project: multimodal agentic behavior for realistic scenarios.
12.2021 - I gave a keynote talk at AIST 2021 on moving beyond sentence-level classification.
10.2021 - I have accepted an assistant professor position at the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU.
9.2021 - I will be co-organizing WASSA 2022.
6.2021 - I am the main organizer of the SemEval-2022 shared task 10 on Structured Sentiment.
