Profile

Carolina Scarton is a Senior Lecturer in Natural Language Processing at the Department of Computer Science, University of Sheffield, UK. She is a member of the Natural Language Processing group and part of the .

Previously, she worked as an Academic Fellow (from September 2019 to November 2021) and as a Research Associate for the  (from March 2019 to August 2019) and SIMPATICO (from July 2016 to February 2019) European projects.

Qualifications

In 2017, she was awarded a PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of Sheffield, under the supervision of Professor Lucia Specia. Her PhD was funded by the  project (a Marie Curie ITN network).

She also has a MSc and a BSc degree from the University of São Paulo, Brazil (awarded in 2013).

Her MSc supervisor was Dr. Sandra Aluísio and she was a member of the . Since 2018, she is the .

Research interests

Dr Scarton's research area is Natural Language Processing (NLP). She is particularly interested in text adaptation, machine translation, online misinformation detection and verification, evaluation of NLP task outputs, NLP applied to healthcare and robotics, and dialog systems.
