Human-Centered Data Science
We are a research group founded by Prof. Lisa Beinborn.
We work on natural language processing (NLP) with a human-centered perspective and are affiliated with the Computer Science Institute and the Campus Institute Data Science at the University of Göttingen.

News
- Miryam de Lhoneux and Lisa Beinborn received a joint grant to work on multilingual tokenization. They are looking for a PhD candidate (in Göttingen) and a PostDoc (in Leuven) to work on a three-year project.
- Lisa Beinborn was invited to give the ceremonial lecture at the university's new years reception. She spoke about "Sprache modellieren — Das Zusammenspiel von Informatik, Linguistik und Psychologie"
- Our HumanCLAIM workhop took place in Göttingen on March 26th/27th. Visit the website for a recap and highlights.
- Lisa Beinborn has been awarded an Impulsprofessur grant to work towards poly-vocal language models that can account for cross-lingual and individual differences. The work builds on the idea of cognitively plausible natural language processing that Lisa Beinborn and Nora Hollenstein described in their recent book.
Research
We develop computational models that account for human variation, uncertainty, and cognitive complexity and are currently most interested in the following topics:
- Multilingual NLP
- Cognitively plausible representation learning
- Interpretability and bias of machine learning models
- Educational language technology
- Modelling eye-tracking data of language processing
Teaching
We are always looking for motivated students to work with us.
