Dragomir Radev, A. Bartlett Giamatti Professor of Computer Science, has been selected as a 2018 fellow of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL).

Radev was one of five new fellows chosen this year by the ACL’s nominating committee. The organization cited Radev’s “significant contributions to text summarization and question answering, as well as large scale efforts to expand and diversify the computational linguistics pipeline.”

Radev has served as secretary of the Association for Computational Linguistics, is co-founder of the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad, and is a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.

Founded in 1962, the ACL is the premier international scientific and professional society for people working on computational problems involving human language, a field often referred to as either computational linguistics or natural language processing (NLP).
