Summary
Arij Riabi is an NLP research project manager with a PhD in AI/NLP and eight years of experience turning language research into production-ready systems. Based in Paris, she has focused on low-resource and non-standardized language varieties—notably North-African dialectal Arabic in Latin script—and on automatic detection of harmful language. Her work blends hands-on model development (BERT, PyTorch, NER) with project leadership, bridging academic research at Inria and applied delivery at Devoteam. She has a strong data-science foundation from Sorbonne University and practical engineering experience across startups and industry internships. Colleagues describe her as someone who pairs rigorous evaluation of language variation with pragmatic transfer strategies to make systems robust in real-world, resource-scarce settings. Beyond publications, she brings a habit of prototyping end-to-end pipelines that move models from experiments into production.
