Albina Sarymsakova
Dr. Albina Sarymsakova, Computational Linguist with a degree in Hispanic Philology from Kazan Federal University and a PhD in Linguistic Studies (Cum Laude and International Mention) from the Universidade da Coru?a. My doctoral thesis, which received the Extraordinary Doctorate Award from UDC, focused on linguistic technologies and the multimodal discourse analysis of native and non-native Spanish speakers. I co-developed a plugin for phonetic-phonological analysis in Spanish, a proprietary software tool that enables instant comparative analysis of pronunciation between native and non-native speakers. My research interests lie at the intersection of linguistics, technology, and digital humanities. I specialise in the analysis and processing of oral and written discourse, the development of linguistic technologies, and multimodal studies of orality. My work also explores speech synthesis, artificial intelligence for language processing, and their applications in various historical and socio-cultural domains. Within my current affiliation, my primary research focuses on emotion mining and annotation of historical corpora, primarily personal correspondence in English and Spanish of the XVI-XVII centuries, using AI-driven tools.
