Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKaja Dobrovoljc is a corpus linguist and research associate with over a decade of experience building language resources, annotation workflows, and multilingual data models for Slovene and beyond. She combines hands-on development and curation of corpora, dictionaries, and online tools with rigorous linguistic data analysis and language technology evaluation across academic and national infrastructure projects. Currently affiliated with the University of Ljubljana and the Jozef Stefan Institute, she contributes to the AI4DH centre and CLARIN.SI, bridging digital humanities and NLP research. Her PhD in Slovene linguistics and background in translation studies inform both technical modelling and practical language applications, while regular student supervision and project collaboration reflect strong interdisciplinary engagement. Notably, she has shifted seamlessly between freelance lexicography and large-scale infrastructure work, demonstrating rare fluency in both minute linguistic detail and scalable resource dissemination.
