Mirella Lapata is a computer scientist and Professor in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh.[1] Working on the general problem of extracting semantic information from large bodies of text, Lapata develops computer algorithms and models in the field of natural language processing (NLP).

Education[editar | editar código-fonte]

Lapata obtained an M.A. from Carnegie Mellon University and subsequently earned a doctorate from the University of Edinburgh.[2] Lapata's doctoral thesis concerns the acquisition of information from polysemous linguistic units using probabilistic methods.[3][4]

Professional life[editar | editar código-fonte]

After her doctorate, Lapata assumed academic positions at Saarland University and at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield.[2][5] At the University of Edinburgh she became a reader in the School of Informatics where she currently is a full Professor and holds a personal chair in natural language processing.[6] Lapata is a member of the Human Communication Research Center and Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation, both in Edinburgh.

Alongside her university career, between 2015 and 2017, Lapata was a member of the Royal Society in the Machine Learning Working Group.[7]

Recently Lapata was granted a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant worth €1.9M to fund five years of her project, TransModal: Translating from Multiple Modalities into Text.[8]

Awards[editar | editar código-fonte]

  • In 2009 Lapata became the first recipient of the Microsoft BCS/BCS IRSG Karen Spärck Jones Award.[9] The award recognizes achievement in furthering the progress in information retrieval and natural language processing; the award commemorates the life and work of Karen Spärck Jones.
  • In 2012 Lapata won an EMNLP-CoNLL 2012 Best Reviewer Award.[10]
  • In 2016 Lapata, with Eneko Agirre and Sebastian Riedel, won the EMNLP Best Data Set Paper Award.[11]
