Núria Bertomeu Castelló

Also known as Núria Bertomeu

Núria Bertomeu Castelló is a computational linguist whose work spans dialogue systems, dependency annotation and opinion mining on financial news. She studied Linguistics and Cognitive Science at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and defended a PhD thesis on discourse and semantic processing at Saarland University in 2007. In 2013, she was one of thirteen authors of Universal Dependency Annotation for Multilingual Parsing at ACL, and she moved from research into industry, working at Searchmetrics and parlamind. In 2023, ACL named that paper a Test-of-Time Paper Award winner. Since 2017, she is Director of Natural Language Processing at Yukka Lab, where she is responsible for a text understanding system for opinion and fact mining on financial news.

Timeline

  1. 2003

    Master's in Barcelona

    She first meets the field of NLP in 2003, while pursuing a Master's degree in Linguistics and Cognitive Science at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

  2. By 2007

    PhD at Saarland University

    With a German Research Foundation scholarship, she works on her PhD within the German International Research College on Language Technology and Cognitive Systems at Saarland University. In 2006, she coauthors a workshop paper on contextual phenomena and thematic relations in database QA dialogues with Hans Uszkoreit, Anette Frank, Hans-Ulrich Krieger and Brigitte Jörg, and in 2007 she defends her thesis on discourse and semantic processing.

  3. 2008

    Hybrid grammar and style checking

    In 2008, she coauthors Hybrid Processing for Grammar and Style Checking at COLING in Manchester with Berthold Crysmann, Peter Adolphs, Daniel Flickinger and Tina Klüwer.

  4. 2013

    Universal dependencies at ACL 2013

    She is one of thirteen authors of Universal Dependency Annotation for Multilingual Parsing, which appears in 2013 in the proceedings of the 51st Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics in Sofia. Ryan McDonald, Joakim Nivre, Slav Petrov and Yoav Goldberg are among her coauthors.

  5. 2013

    Industry at Searchmetrics and parlamind

    After her PhD, she continues her research, especially on dialogue systems, at the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and the Centre of General Linguistics (ZAS). In 2013, she moves into industry to bring NLP out of the labs and into products, working for companies such as Searchmetrics and parlamind.

  6. 2017

    Implicit opinion word lists

    In 2017, she and Manfred Stede publish Extracting word lists for domain-specific implicit opinions from corpora in the proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS).

  7. 2023

    Test-of-Time Paper Award

    In 2023, ACL lists Universal Dependency Annotation for Multilingual Parsing among the winners of its 2013 Test-of-Time Paper Award, with her among the thirteen authors.

  8. Since 2017

    Director of NLP at Yukka Lab

    Since 2017, she is Director of Natural Language Processing at Yukka Lab AG, where she is responsible for developing a text understanding system for opinion and fact mining on financial news.

From the biography.

  1. Nonprofit roles are 2.3 times as common in AI safetyIncludes DFKI. We estimate where people focused on safety, alignment and evaluation work. Nonprofit roles appear for 25.1% of safety people with known affiliations, compared with 11.0% in other areas.
  2. The top 10 organizations employed 22% of people shaping AI in 2025: 51% of company researchers and 21% of university researchersIncludes DFKI. We estimate the share of people shaping AI who worked at the top 10 organizations each year from 1955 to 2025, comparing concentration across companies, universities, and institutes and labs.
  3. The United States employs an estimated 48% of people shaping AIIncludes DFKI. We estimate where the people shaping AI work today, how universities, companies and research institutes split across countries, and how country shares have changed since the 1960s.
  4. More people shaping AI studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology than at any other institutionIncludes DFKI. We estimate where the people shaping AI studied and where their careers led. Massachusetts Institute of Technology leads with 467 former students, including 291 recorded doctorates.
