Ibukunola Abosede Modupe

Pretoria North, Akasia. Pretoria

Summary

Ibukunola A Modupe is presently working at the Vaal University of Technology in Vanderbijlpark, South Africa. Her primary research interest is machine learning, focusing on genetic algorithm, computational linguistics, natural language processing (NLP), neural machine translation, low-resource language, and zero sample learning. With many years of experience involving machine learning and NLP to decode real-world issues both in industry and academia, I am always interested in new possibilities that will allow me to continue applying and extending my expertise by exploring new areas. Committed Lecturer with 10 years in mentoring and educating upper-level undergraduate students. Worked with full-time faculty to supplement programs to prepare students for success in career or graduate school. Created fascinating lectures and activities to explain and demonstrate difficult concepts.
