Vivian Stamou

Vivian Stamou is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Archimedes Unit and a Research Assistant at the Institute of Language and Speech Processing (ILSP), Athena Research Center. She holds a Ph.D. in Computational Psycholinguistics from the Department of Philology of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and an MSc in Computational Linguistics from the Institute for Natural Language Processing (IMS) at the University of Stuttgart. Recently, Vivian's team was awarded first prize in a Goethe Institute competition for their contribution to the 'ETHICAI=LABS' project. This achievement facilitated funding for the BLACKBOX AI initiative, which resulted in an artistic exhibition focused on addressing gender discrimination in artificial intelligence applications. Her current research interests explore the intersection of psychology and language, focusing on mental health disorders such as depression, the investigation of methodologies for building resources for underrepresented languages, and the evaluation of highly subjective NLP tasks such as offensive language detection.
