Dr Tharindu Ranasinghe
Lecturer in Security and Protection ScienceResearch Overview
My research focuses on developing Machine Learning (ML) approaches for Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, particularly emphasising NLP for Social Good. My work has various applications, such as computational social science, digital humanities and text adaptation. I have published in top natural language processing journals and conferences, including ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, and COLING. I am an Associate Editor of Natural Language Processing (previously Journal of Natural Language Engineering) and as an Area Chair for ACL, NAACL, EMNLP, and EACL. Additionally, I co-chair the New Trends in Translation and Technology (NeTTT) conference series (https://nettt-conference.com/) and the LoResLM workshop (https://loreslm.github.io/).
