Victoria L. Rubin

Associate Professor & Director of the Language & Information Technology Research Lab (LiT.RL), Western University

Associate Professor & Director of the Language & Information Technology Research Lab (LiT.RL), Western University Victoria L. Rubin is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Information and Media Studies and the Director of the Language and Information Technologies Research Lab (LiT.RL) at the University of Western Ontario. She specializes in information retrieval and natural language processing techniques that enable analyses of texts to identify, extract, and organize structured knowledge. She studies complex human information behaviors that are, at least partly, expressed through language such as deception, uncertainty, credibility, and emotions. Her research on Deception Detection and Automated News Verification has been published in several core workshops on these topics, in prominent information science and computational linguistics conferences, as well as the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology. Her project entitled Digital Deception Detection: Identifying Deliberate Misinformation in Online News was funded by the Government of Canada Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Insight Grant. In her recent textbook "Misinformation and Disinformation: Detecting Fakes with the Eye and AI," Rubin (2022) puts forward a package of countermeasures to disrupt the mis- and disinformation spread (see https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-95656-1).
