Hello, and Ohm Swastiastu!

I am a Master’s student in Natural Language Processing (NLP) at MBZUAI, working under the supervision of Dr. Fajri Koto as part of the Koto-MOSAIC Lab, and co-supervised by Prof. Thamar Solorio. My research lies at the intersection of Computational Social Science and NLP, focusing on dialogue systems, multilingual and dialect processing, resource development and evaluation, as well as speech technologies. My Master’s thesis was on Indonesian dialects, collecting 11 dialects across 4 languages in Indonesia.

I primarily work on Indonesian and its local languages and dialects, though I’m always eager to explore other linguistic and cultural contexts. I’m particularly interested in understanding how language and dialect variation reflect social and cultural nuances, as well as in modeling code-switching and code-mixing to better capture the dynamics of multilingual communication.

If you’re interested in collaborating or discussing low-resource NLP, feel free to get in touch! You can reach me via email at irasalsabila (at) gmail (dot) com.
