Nina Dethlefs

Nina is interested in research and knowledge transfer at the intersection of AI, natural language processing and sustainability. Her research interests lie particularly in data-to-text generation, text mining, (spoken and multimodal) dialogue systems, sentiment analysis and social media analysis. A central theme of her research is how information can be extracted from disparate data sources, including text, images, numeric and machine data, social media etc. and presented in a human-accessible, intuitive way that is reliable, ethical and data efficient. More recently, she has made contributions in applying technologies in NLP and AI to research questions in renewable energy, sustainability, environment and climate resilience. A central question here is how AI systems can help mitigate climate change, and/or inform resilience building.
