PABLO GAMALLO OTERO

Pablo Gamallo Otero is a Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), affiliated with the Faculty of Philology and the Department of Spanish Language and Literature. He leads research in the LComp Research Group in Computational Linguistics and is part of the Center for Research in Intelligent Technologies (CITIUS). His work focuses on computational linguistics, natural language processing (NLP), and language technologies for minority languages like Galician and Portuguese. He has extensively contributed to projects like the Nós initiative, developing large-scale corpora (e.g., CorpusNÓS) and models for low-resource languages.

Key research interests include sentiment analysis, hyperpartisan news detection, neural machine translation (NMT), and cross-lingual paraphrasing. His work bridges theoretical linguistics and practical NLP applications, with a focus on preserving and revitalizing Galician through advanced AI tools. He has collaborated on international initiatives such as the Iberobench benchmark and the SemEval competition, advancing multilingual AI evaluation frameworks.

His articles often address challenges in machine translation for Galician, leveraging Portuguese resources via transliteration strategies. He has also explored diachronic language distance measurement, lexical resources for mental health analysis, and dependency-based compositional semantics. His contributions span conferences like PROPOR and TREC, reflecting his role in both academic research and applied technology development.
