Hi! I’m Alberto Muñoz-Ortiz, a PhD student in Natural Language Processing at LyS group at Universidade da Coruña in A Coruña, Spain, under the supervision of David Vilares and Carlos Gómez-Rodríguez.

I am currently visiting the NLP Lab at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, hosted by Antoine Bosselut and Gail Weiss until March 2025.

My research interests are innovative data-efficient approaches to enhance NLP system performance in low-resource environments. I focus on leveraging techniques such as transfer learning, novel representations, synthetic data generation, and the integration of linguistic information, particularly syntactic dependencies.

Previously, I was a visiting researcher at the MaiNLP Research Lab at LMU in Munich, Germany, hosted by Barbara Plank during the summer of 2023. Together with Barbara and Verena Blaschke, we explored the use of pixel-based models to transfer knowledge from Standard German to German non-standard varieties.
