Annette Rios

Since January 2021, I am a Research Associate in the European project EASIER on Sign Language Translation. Additionally, I work on automatic text simplification in the Capito Project (see Language Technology for Accessibility).
Until 2020, I was a Postdoc in MUTAMUR and Rich Contexts in Neural Machine Translation. I was also a member of the former projects MODERN: Modeling Discourse Entities and Relations for Coherent Machine Translation and SQUOIA.
