NLP · research engineering · multilingual systems
Alberto Muñoz-Ortiz
I am a final-year PhD student in Natural Language Processing at the LyS group at Universidade da Coruña, based in Lausanne, Switzerland. My thesis defense is expected in Q2 2026.
My work focuses on efficient, robust, and interpretable language models, especially in multilingual, low-resource, and non-standard language settings. I am seeking Research Engineer and Applied Scientist roles in NLP and LLMs where I can combine research depth with hands-on model development and evaluation.
Expertise
Structured NLP
I have worked on nested named entity recognition and other problems where linguistic structure can be turned into practical modeling decisions.
Multilingual and non-standard language modeling
I have studied transfer across language varieties and modeling in settings where standard resources are limited or language use is non-standardized.
LLM analysis and evaluation
I have worked on autoregressive transformers, linguistic probing, and the comparison between human and model-generated text.
Reproducible ML experimentation
I build experiments with Python, PyTorch, Hugging Face, Docker, and GPU-based workflows for training, evaluation, and iteration.
Research stays
I was also a visiting researcher at the MaiNLP Research Lab at LMU Munich and at the NLP Lab at EPFL Lausanne.
Publications
I have first-authored papers at ACL, EMNLP, COLING, IJCNLP-AACL, and RANLP.
