Farah Adeeba is beginning her one-year visit to our department. Below is a small description of Farah’s research interests. You can reach Farah here: fadeeba’at’umass.edu
I am interested in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Speech Processing, and AI for low-resource languages. I did my PhD in Speech and Language Technology. In my research career, I have worked on speech-to-text, text-to-speech, speaker identification, and meeting summarization. As a Fulbright postdoc at UMass Amherst, my research explores English vs. Urdu prompt analysis, zero-shot and few-shot prompting, and the structural and semantic analysis of Roman Urdu prompts. I am also working on the development and evaluation of Urdu LLMs, with an emphasis on trustworthiness and multilingual AI. In my spare time, I enjoy music and reading books.
