Faeze Ghorbanpour

Hi!

I am a PhD student at TUM Munich, supervised by Prof. Alexander Fraser.
I am also a NLP researcher at CIS, LMU Munich and affiliated with MCML.

Currently, my research focuses on Efficient Transfer Learning for Hate Speech Detection, but I am also interested in Efficient Language Models, Low-Resource NLP, Multilingual NLP, Applied NLP, and, last but not least, Computational Social Science.

I know—that’s quite a broad range of topics! 😃 But as an early-career researcher, I am highly motivated to explore different areas of LLMs and NLP and continuously learn.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to collaborate! 🚀
