Mar is a PhD student at Loyola Andalucía University in Seville. She uses quantitative methods to perform discourse analysis, using Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence tools. Her aim is to compare large corpora of news items and detect which news items provide complementary or contrary information on a given topic. Thus, the reader could have more insight into what they are reading and also be aware of the reality bias we know.

Collaborative interests:

• Sharing experiences on the use of automated tools to detect voices or bias in the news.
• Having theoretical discussions about media bias and AI bias. Especially now that the use of these tools is becoming more widespread, she considers it important to talk about the training and learning mechanisms of the tools, the risks of their unconscious use in the journalistic field or among information professionals, or induced bias, among other related topics.
