Welcome to my website 👋 My name is Lucía and I am a NLP Researcher and Ph.D. Candidate in Multilingual Information Processing at University of Geneva (FTI/TIM) and Grenoble Computer Science Laboratory (LIG/GETALP), as part of ANR/FNS PROPICTO project.
I hold a B.A. in Hispanic Philology from University of Navarre (Pamplona, Spain) and a M.Sc. in Natural Language Processing from Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (Paris, France). My main research focuses on Automatic Speech Recognition and Text Simplification systems.
Feel free to contact me for any further information 😀
As a Candoc grant-holder, I am pursuing a joint Ph.D. between the Department of Translation Technology (TIM) of University of Geneva and Grenoble Computer Science Laboratory (LIG).
My work falls within the framework of PROPICTO, a research project that aims to create Speech-to-Pictograph translation systems.
Participation within the BabelDr project: development of an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system for medical-related applications.
Main tasks:
• Created resources for grammar-based language models.
• Containerized ASR-related tools using Docker.
• Trained HMM-DNN-based acoustic models.
• Developed a Kaldi web-server API.
• Conducted a prototype testing and evaluation.
ENG > ESP translation of commercial texts:
• Video transcriptions.
• Travel articles.
• Apartment reviews.
• Client testimonials.
Main tasks:
• Development of educational materials.
• Document classification.
• Proofreading.
• One-on-one tutorial assessment on academic writing.
• Targeted classes to non-native Spanish speakers.
My main research aims to explore neural-based approaches for Automatic Text Simplification (ATS), focusing on a spoken modality as an input.
Keywords: Automatic Speech Recognition, Text Simplification, Machine Translation.
