Şaziye Betül Özateş

Şaziye Betül Özateş is an Assistant Professor at Boğaziçi University's Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, specializing in NLP and machine learning. She develops resources and models for Turkish and low-resource languages, including the BOUN Treebank and dependency parsers.

Research focuses on dependency parsing for agglutinative languages, computational linguistics, and deep learning applications, with emphasis on Turkish morphology, code-switching parsing, and historical language processing. Recent projects address Ottoman Turkish NLP and calligraphy analysis.

Publications demonstrate strong focus on Turkish language resources (40%), parsing algorithms (30%), historical text processing (20%), and code-switching NLP (10%). Recent works show increasing attention to Ottoman Turkish and Arabic script processing, with methods leveraging multilingual BERT and semi-supervised learning.

Developed key resources: BOUN Treebank (Turkish syntactic corpus), PUD Treebank (multilingual parallel corpus), BOUN-Pars (LSTM-based Turkish parser), and semi-supervised parsers for code-switched languages. Supervises projects on neural network applications in NLP.
