Liviu P. Dinu

Liviu P. Dinu is a Professor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Bucharest, with a career spanning three decades. He holds a PhD (2003) and Dr. habil (2014) in Computer Science and has served as Director of the Human Language Technologies Research Center. His work bridges computational linguistics, natural language processing, and bioinformatics.

• PhD: 2003, University of Bucharest (supervisor: Solomon Marcus)
• Dr. habil: 2014, University of Bucharest
• Bachelor’s: 1994, University of Bucharest

His research explores computational methods for historical linguistics, including cognate identification, semantic change analysis, and proto-word reconstruction. He also investigates applications of NLP in mental health (depression/gambling detection), financial text analysis, and DNA sequence similarity. Recent work focuses on multimodal transformers, few-shot learning, and AI-generated text detection.

Article trends reveal interdisciplinary work in historical linguistics, mental health informatics, and bioinformatics. He employs rank distance, ensemble methods, and deep learning frameworks across applications from semantic divergence to emotion detection in Romanian tweets.

Scientific awards include the Grigore C. Moisil Prize (2007, Romanian Academy) and In Hoc Signo Vinces Prize (2005, National Research Council). He has supervised 7 completed PhDs and mentors ongoing students at the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School (ISDS) and Computer Science Doctoral School.

Current projects involve multi-agent systems for authorship attribution, algorithms for graph structure identification, and linguistic tools for historical analysis. His lab collaborates internationally on DNA sequence analysis and cross-lingual semantic laws research.
