More information about Suzan Verberne

Suzan Verberne is professor of Natural Language Processing (NLP) at the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science at Leiden University and a member of the interdisciplinary research programme Society, Artificial Intelligence and Life Sciences (SAILS). She is group leader of Text Mining and Retrieval. She obtained her PhD in 2010 on the topic of Question Answering and has since then been working on the edge between Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Information Retrieval (IR). She has supervised projects involving a large number of application domains and collaborations: from social media to law and from archeology to health. Her recent work centers around interactive information access for specific domains and low-resource contexts. She has a strong interest in the interplay between search engines and large language models. Suzan is highly active in the NLP and IR communities, holding chairing positions in the large world-wide conferences, including activities related to diversity and inclusivity. She teaches master courses on Information Retrieval and Text Mining, and supervises many bachelor and master students.
