Summary
Ildikó Pilán is a Senior Research Scientist in Language Technology with a PhD in NLP and nine years of experience building and evaluating text-centric machine learning systems. Based in Oslo at the Norwegian Computing Center, she combines academic rigor from postdoctoral work in Hong Kong and Oslo with practical leadership as a former CTO of a Copenhagen startup. Her work focuses on extracting reliable insights from large text corpora with attention to factuality, transparency, bias and privacy, and she has built datasets and models for education, clinical text, recruitment, anonymization and cyber security. She is particularly interested in how curated knowledge sources can best inform and enhance LLMs and how humans and machines can learn and communicate more effectively. Beyond modelling, she brings expertise in linguistic complexity analysis for language learning and a track record of translating research into applied tools for education and healthcare. A practical thinker with cross-cultural research experience, she seeks impact-oriented projects that responsibly deploy language technology for societal benefit.
