I can also review research papers, teach how to do that, edit research papers, edit LaTeX in Overleaf, and perform evaluations in the NLP/Computational linguistics field. I can assist with and I have long experience in organizing conferences and research workshops. *Scientific experience - writing scientific research articles, LaTeX, research grants*: I have extensive experience as a scientific researcher in the fields of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computational Linguistics. I have experience in translating and writing reports in the NLP/Semantic Web field, as well as translating, writing, and evaluating research proposals for several funding bodies. I am also a quite active reviewer of conferences and specialized workshops, such as ACL, NAACL, IJCAI, EMNLP, AIST, RANLP, the CNL workshops, the Slavic NLP workshops, etc. *Translation, Localization, Transcription, Proofreading, Editing, Translation Technologies*: I can translate and have experience as a full-time translator and freelance translator for the following pairs of languages: from English, Italian, French, Russian into Bulgarian. From Bulgarian into English and Italian; From Russian into English and Italian; I can localize. I can work on a variety of topics, but my special strengths are in science- and IT-related texts. I can use SDL Studio 2019, MateCat, Smartcat, and terminology software. I can transcribe audio recordings, evaluate the quality of translations, evaluate the output of machine translation engines, post-edit, edit, and proofread.
