Παρασκευή Γιούλη

I am an assistant professor of Computational Linguistics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I graduated from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (BA in Greek Philology, specializing in linguistics) and I hold a Master’s degree from the University of Edinburgh (MSc in Speech and Language Processing). I earned my doctorate in Computational Linguistics from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (2020).

Previously, I worked as an associate researcher at the Institute for Language and Speech Processing of ATHENA Research Center, focusing on the design and development of Natural Language Processing tools and language resources for multiple layers of linguistic analysis (morphological, syntactic, and semantic), within the scope of national and EU-funded R&D projects.

My research interests focus on the computational modeling of linguistic phenomena in Modern Greek and the use of Machine Learning for applications such as information extraction, sentiment analysis, paraphrasing, and textual entailment. A significant part of my work is dedicated to the representation of lexical meaning and the computational processing of the lexicon, with emphasis on the identification of idiomatic language and the detection of toxic language in texts.

I am 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).

I am a member of scientific organizations (Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), European Association for Lexicography (EURALEX), etc.). I have also served as a member of the Board of the Special Interest Group on the Lexicon of the Association for Computational Linguistics (SIGLEX) and the president of the SIGLEX-MWE section (2022-2024).
