Hi world! I am Julia Romberg, a postdoctoral researcher working in Computational Social Science at GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences (Data Science Methods team, led by Gabriella Lapesa). My research interests include the development of machine learning models that accommodate human label variation, improved understanding of the subjectivity inherent in natural language perception and production, computational argumentation (with a particular focus on argument quality), and the support of public participation and deliberation processes in the political domain. As a computer scientist by training, I worked at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Germany, on the CIMT project within the Social Sciences department (2019-2023) and in the Databases and Information Systems group within the Computer Science department (2016-2019) before joining GESIS.
