Margot Mieskes Margot Mieskes (margot.mieskes@h-da.de, she/her) is a Professor for Information Science at the University of Applied Sciences, Darmstadt, Germany. She works in Computational Linguistics (CL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), focusing on automatic summarization, evaluation methods, data quality, emotion detection, ethics, experiment reproducibility, and biases in large language models.
Aurélie Névéol Aurélie Névéol (aurelie.neveol@lisn.fr, she/her) is a CNRS Researcher at LISN (formerly, LIMSI) working on clinical and biomedical Natural Language Processing. Her research interests include information extraction and knowledge representation in specialized domains. Her research addresses both methods and applications of biomedical text analysis, ranging from explorations of representation models and their cross-language or cross-domain adaptability, to the integration of representation frameworks to extract new medical knowledge from clinical text. She also has a strong interest in ethics issues related to the development, evaluation and deployment of Natural Language Processing systems.
Adriana Silvina Pagano Adriana Silvina Pagano (apagano@ufmg.br, she/her) is a Full Professor in Applied Linguistics at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, teaching and supervising students. As a CNPq and FAPEMIG research fellow, she investigates multilingual text production and models multilingual texts.
