Elisa Bassignana is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the NLPnorth research group at the IT University of Copenhagen and an affiliated member at the Pioneer Centre for Artificial Intelligence. Her research interest lies at the intersection between Natural Language Processing and Computational Social Science. Specifically, she’s interested in analyzing social phenomena through the lens of language, by using NLP technologies. During her PhD, she worked on developing computation systems for Information Extraction with strong abilities to generalize over unseen data sources and label spaces. More specifically, she worked on cross-domain Relation Extraction. Before that, she worked in the field of Computational Social Science (hate speech and personality detection).

Elisa serves as part of the EACL Student Board and has co-organized the EACL Student Research Workshop 2023.
