Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElena Zotova is an NLP researcher with eight years of experience building language technologies for Spanish, Basque and other European languages, currently advancing multilingual knowledge extraction and clinical-text understanding at Vicomtech. She combines academic rigor—pursuing a PhD in NLP—with hands-on engineering: developing text classification, summarization, QA and entity-detection models, scraping and processing unstructured data, and deploying web services. Prior roles in computational linguistics and speech evaluation sharpened her strengths in NLU design, error analysis and UX-driven conversational systems. Her background in journalism and marketing gives her a rare edge in crafting user-centered language solutions and translating messy real-world text into structured insights.
