Helena Mihaljević is a mathematician by training and professor of Data Science at the Berlin University of Applied Sciences (HTW Berlin). Her research focuses on analyses of data and technologies, typically applying methods from machine and deep learning, natural language processing and statistics. She works in inter- and transdisciplinary projects that involve algorithmic methods and large data sets for the analysis of social or political phenomena, or projects that investigate the effect of data-driven and usually opaque algorithmic technologies on societal developments. She is interested in algorithmic detection and analysis of conspiracy theories and antisemitic speech in texts from online and social media.
