- About me and my research interest:

I am an assistant professor at the College of Computer and Information Sciences, King Saud University. My research interests lie primarily in Computational Social Science and Natural Language Processing . Most generally, I am working on NLP models and computational methods to recognize social aspects of language and modeling the use of language in social contexts to understand different phenomena with focus on multilingual/social processing, such as tackling biases, abusive language, and misinformation.

[I am not interested in monolingual or polyglossia/dialects, aka. ArabicNLP/ArabicNetwork/ArabicHCI/Arabic Processing! or Religious studies/ Healthcare-Biology or Pandemic(Covid19)! apps/Educational apps/political analysis/ privacy applications/ policy / Sustainability/ Cybersecurity / Startups! please check FAQ page and my most recent research !]

- Highlights of my research so far :

♦ Computational Social Science and Natural Language Processing

Social Bias (social views and cultural aspect alignment [Multilingual]), Hate speech (reliability evaluation, counter-speech), Stance detection, Suicide level assessment.

♦ Natural Language Processing

Cross-lingual paraphrasing techniques, Readability assessment, Rumours veracity detection.

- More about my most recent research at this page.

I got my Ph.D. in (August 2021) from the University of Edinburgh, the Institute for Language, Cognition and Communication (ILCC) at School of Informatics , as a member of (SMASH) research group. In my Ph.D. thesis, I worked on assessing the social factors of the stance in social media, where I worked in evaluating the effectiveness of sentiment along with different interactions signals in detecting the stance in social media by using the SemEval 2016 stance dataset along with extended context-based stance dataset. Also, the thesis proposed a framework for responsible stance detection, in addition to assess the stance of bots generated posts and humans posts in social computing setting. Moreover, during my Ph.D. I had a chance to work on two side projects; in the first one, we developed a hybrid language model and behaviour model to assess suicide risk (CLPsych workshop@ NAACL2019). The second project focused on rumors veracity detection, where I worked on the conversation level (replies set) of a given post.

Before starting my PhD, I earned a BSc and MSc in Computer and Information Sciences from King Saud University (KSU). In my Master thesis, I worked on developing query paraphrasing algorithm to enhance information retrieval system. Beside my job as lecturer at (KSU), I worked as a research assistant in a readability identification project to predict the readability level of a given text.

📚 My personal interests include learning different languages, and reading [recommend me a book for my reading list here :) ]📚
