معرفی
Ali Basirat is an Associate Professor in the Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen, affiliated with the Center for Language Technology (CST). His research focuses on data-driven approaches to language technology, particularly explainable natural language processing and morphosyntactic analysis, with emphasis on universal patterns across languages and efficient language processing tools.
His academic qualifications include:
- PhD in Computational Linguistics from Uppsala University (awarded 2018)
- Certificate in Higher Education Pedagogy from Linköping University (awarded 2022)
Dr. Basirat's research centers on mathematical modeling of natural languages, with core interests in universal language models, representation learning, dependency syntax, and explainable NLP. He investigates data-driven syntax, word embeddings, grammatical gender patterns across languages, and adaptation of large language models for environmental studies and sustainable development goals. His work bridges theoretical linguistics with practical NLP applications.
Analysis of his 2020-2025 publications reveals three dominant trends: (1) Advancements in multilingual dependency parsing through linguistic typology and syntactic nuclei exploration; (2) Investigation of grammatical gender representation in word embeddings and language models; (3) Application of NLP techniques to climate conceptual history and environmental studies. His research increasingly addresses efficiency challenges in large language model adaptation while maintaining cross-lingual performance.
No major scientific awards are currently documented in his public profile.
Dr. Basirat supervises master's theses in natural language processing and computational linguistics, focusing on machine learning, language modeling, syntactic parsing, and knowledge graphs. He teaches graduate courses including Scientific Programming and Representation Learning for Natural Language Processing (RL4NLP) at the University of Copenhagen's IT & Cognition and Computer Science programs.
He is a core member of the Center for Language Technology (CST) and actively collaborates with the Nordic Language Processing Laboratory (NLPL). His research network extends through membership in the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), facilitating international collaborations across European institutions.
