معرفی
Erik Velldal is a Professor in the Language Technology Group (LTG) at the Section for Machine Learning, Department of Informatics, University of Oslo. With over 25 years of experience in machine learning and natural language processing (NLP), he leads the SANT project focused on sentiment analysis and contributes to major research initiatives including MediaFutures, NorwAI, and Integreat (Norwegian Center for AI Research). His work bridges linguistic theory and computational methods, emphasizing semantic modeling and uncertainty detection.
Research interests include sentiment analysis, language modeling, event extraction, and machine learning applications to NLP. Recent publications address cross-domain sentiment classification, generative event analysis, and multilingual model adaptation. He co-developed the Norwegian Review Corpus (NoReC) and Norwegian Anaphora Resolution Corpus (NARC), foundational resources for Norwegian NLP.
His projects often involve collaboration with international institutions, reflected in publications at venues like ACL, COLING, and EMNLP. Current efforts focus on entity-level sentiment analysis, diagnostic datasets for Norwegian, and evaluating compositional generalization in language models. No public record of scientific awards or part-time appointments exists.
