We recently introduced Spotlight at UKP Lab Alumni, and we're thrilled to begin our series with Lisa Beinborn!

Lisa was part of UKP Lab until 2018, focusing on educational natural language processing, where she explored how to predict and manipulate the difficulty of text-completion exercises for language learning—work that culminated in her PhD thesis, "Predicting and Manipulating the Difficulty of Text-Completion Exercises for Language Learning," which she successfully defended in July 2016.

Now, as a Professor of Human-Centered Data Science at the University of Göttingen, Lisa works at the intersection of NLP and cognitive science. Her time at UKP Lab was an important step in her academic journey, and we're excited to share her story with you.

Stay tuned for more insights from Lisa about her projects, goals, and fond memories from her time at UKP Lab.
