More information about Jelena Prokic

Jelena Prokic is an Assistant Professor in Computational Linguistics at the Leiden University Centre for Digital Humanities (LUCDH) and Leiden University Centre for Linguistics (LUCL). Since September 2024, Jelena Prokic has also been the Head of the Digital Humanities and AI Lab at the Faculty of Humanities. Her research focuses on the development and application of natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning methods across diverse domains within the Humanities. She is particularly interested in how computational techniques can support linguistic, historical, and cultural analysis. One key line of her work explores quantitative approaches to language variation and change across time and space. Another central area involves mixed-method research, combining NLP techniques with ethnographic and qualitative methods. Her research aims to make advanced computational tools more accessible and interpretable for humanities scholars. She also supervises students working on topics at the intersection of AI and the Humanities. She teaches courses on computational linguistics, text mining, and digital research methods.
