About
I am a senior researcher in the Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Ethics (FATE) group at Microsoft Research Montréal. I’m broadly interested in examining the social and ethical implications of natural language processing technologies; I develop approaches for anticipating, measuring, and mitigating harms arising from language technologies, focusing on the complexities of language and language technologies in their social contexts, and on supporting NLP practitioners in their ethical work. I’ve also worked on using NLP approaches to examine language variation and change (computational sociolinguistics), for example developing models to identify language variation on social media.
