Noura Al Moubayed

Dr. Noura Al Moubayed serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Durham University, specializing in Explainable Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Optimisation for high-dimensional data challenges.

Education

• PhD from Robert Gordon University
• Post-doctoral positions at University of Glasgow and Durham University

Research Focus

Her work develops machine learning solutions for healthcare, social signal processing, cyber-security, and Brain-Computer Interfaces, specifically targeting noisy and imbalanced datasets through advanced NLP and optimization techniques. Current projects integrate deep learning with explainability frameworks to enhance real-world applicability.

Publication Trends

Recent publications (2020-2022) demonstrate consistent focus on improving question answering systems via bilinear pooling and paraphrasing techniques, alongside novel deep learning approaches for probabilistic topic modeling. These works bridge computer vision, NLP, and multimodal learning to address data imbalance challenges across healthcare and social computing domains.
