My name is Juan Manuel, I’m a PhD student and a TA at Departamento de Computación, FCEyN, Universidad de Buenos Aires

I study Natural Language Processing, and my main area of interest is the detection of Hate Speech and Abusive Language in Social Media. I’m also fond of sociolinguistics in that medium.
