Arkaitz Zubiaga

I am a senior lecturer (associate professor) at Queen Mary University of London, where I co-lead the Social Data Science lab and I'm Director of Graduate Studies. I'm also a member of the Computational Linguistics Lab and a DERI Fellow.

My research lies in the intersection between Computational Social Science and Natural Language Processing. I'm broadly interested in furthering NLP and LLM methods for mining social media and online data, as well as in furthering our understanding of human behaviour through the study of social media. My recent research has a particular focus on tackling problematic issues on the Web and social media that can have a damaging effect on individuals or society at large, such as hate speech, misinformation, inequality, biases and other forms of online harm. I'm also interested in detecting and addressing irresponsible use of AI, where LLMs are used for malicious purposes such as misinformation and abusive content, for augmenting existing societal biases or for producing content that is claimed to be human generated. Check out my research interests for more.

I have published 170+ papers, including 60+ journal articles, in some of the most selective venues including ICWSM, WWW, ACL, EMNLP, EACL, NAACL, COLING, SIGIR, CIKM, and a wide range of selective journals.

I'm currently involved in the HYBRIDS MSCA Doctoral Network (PI) and the AP4L project (CI).
