News
I joined the editorial board of Frontiers in ArtificiaI Intelligence as a review editor on Language and Computation (July 2020).
I was awarded the University of Bucharest Senate Award for the best Ph.D. thesis in exact sciences and engineering (December 2019).
Our article “Automatic Identification and Production of Related Words for Historical Linguistics” was accepted for publication in Computational Linguistics (December 2019).
I defended my Ph.D. thesis entitled “Problems of Similarity in Computational Linguistics” (March 2019).
