LXAI @ NAACL 24: Clinical NLP and other interests

LatinX in AI (LXAI) at NAACL 2024: Clinical NLP and other interests with Jocelyn Dunstan, PhD MSc @ Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
Prof. Jocelyn Dunstan Escudero is an academic at the Catholic University of Chile in a joint appointment between the Department of Computer Science and the Institute for Mathematical and Computational Engineering. She holds a master's in Physics, a Ph.D. in applied mathematics and a postdoc in public health. Prof. Dunstan leads the clinical natural language processing group in Chile. In particular, they use methods to extract critical information and support decision-making. Besides, she is leading applied projects to leverage information extracted from free text with a gender perspective and privacy-preserving approaches. She also has a podcast called "ciencia de datos". She enjoys discussing work-life balance in academia, the need for more diversity in science, and the importance of interdisciplinary research.
This affinity workshop is aimed at LatinX individuals working on or interested in Computational Linguistics with a goal to increase the visibility of researchers of LatinX origin in a field that has been dominated by countries such as China, USA and Germany.
Those already working on Computational Linguistics will have the opportunity to connect with fellow LatinX and make their own work known, while those new to the field will benefit from the scientific exchange, guidance and advice of researchers with their same background. Participants will be able to engage in discussions about Computational Linguistics (formal and informal) and to share their thoughts on how to increase the presence of LatinX in Computational Linguistics.
Diversity and inclusion are key to achieve better and more creative science. By promoting this event, NAACL will not only advocate for an underrepresented community, it will also help to promote the development of technologies and language resources that take into account the different languages ​​that exist in Latin America.
