Anna Korhonen is a Professor of Natural Language Processing at the University of Cambridge where she co-directs the Language Technology Laboratory (LTL). Research in LTL is centred around NLP and how to develop, adapt and apply computational techniques to meet the needs of intelligent applications. Based in the School of Arts and Humanities, Anna is particularly interested in human-centric NLP that draws on the understanding of human cognitive, social and creative intelligence and focuses applications aimed at social and global good. Many of her projects are interdisciplinary and involve collaboration with researchers in other fields as well as in other areas of Artificial Intelligence. Please see Anna’s research page for details.
Prior to starting in her current position, Anna was a Royal Society University Research Fellow in this University, based in Computer Science and Linguistics. Before that, she was a JSPS postdoctoral fellow in Japan where she worked at the National Institute of Informatics in Tokyo. Previously, she was a researcher at University of Pennsylvania. She did her PhD in Computer Science at the University of Cambridge and hold masters degrees in both Computer Science and Linguistics.
Anna Korhonen is accepting applications for PhD and MPhil students. She is available for consultancy.
