Derry conducts research in natural language processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), with a focus on machine learning, deep learning, and large language models (LLMs) applications in multilingual NLP. Her studies include machine translation (MT), which demonstrates how to leverage well-annotated languages to improve the translation of less-annotated ones and how images, related tasks, data augmentation, and LLMs can be used to improve the representation and translation of languages with little training data.

Interdisciplinary application of computing
