Paraskevi (Voula) Giouli is an assistant professor of Computational Linguistics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. She graduated from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (BA in Greek Philology, specializing in linguistics) and holds a Master’s degree from the University of Edinburgh (MSc in Speech and Language Processing). She earned her doctorate in Computational Linguistics from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (2020). In 1993, she attended a course in Electronic Lexicography jointly organized by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Patras (Wired Communications Laboratory), the publishing house HarperCollins, and the lexicographic center Cobuild.

Her research interests focus on the computational treatment of languages and language technology for human-computer interaction focusing on morpho-syntax, the syntax-semantics, and the lexicon-corpus interface. She is particularly interested in studying the lexicon, multi-word expressions, and the representation of meaning. She has developed language resources for applications in information extraction, paraphrasing, simplification, textual entailment, sentiment analysis, etc.

She has been active in the development of computational tools and resources for natural language processing at various levels of linguistic analysis. She is the scientific coordinator of the Greek team in the Global FrameNet project and co-organizer of the series of competitions for the identification of verbal multi-word expressions (PARSEME Shared Tasks). The results of her research have been published in collective volumes, scientific journals, and proceedings of international conferences (peer-reviewed).
