Eirini Balta is a research associate at the Cognitive Systems Research Institute. She holds a diploma in Electrical & Computing Engineering (University of Patras) and a Master in Science in Language Technology (National and Technical University of Athens, University of Athens and Institute for Language and Speech Processing). She has participated in a number of nationally funded and european projects (POETICON++/FP7-ICT, POETICON/FP7-ICT, Interreg, Latsis Foundation Studies) in which she worked on grounding of semantic lexica, image-language dialectics, word sense induction and disambiguation, information retrieval and machine translation. She is currently developing an algorithm for identifying "cognitively important words" for use in semantic similarity metrics, reasoning in robotic applications and others.
