Research and Courses

Computational Linguistics

Beyond personality analysis, Professor Suhartono tackles complex linguistic challenges through advanced NLP applications. His publications include work on Argumentation Mining, using deep learning models to identify and structure arguments within text. He also leads research into Sarcasm Detection and Sentiment Analysis, focusing on the unique features of Indonesian language and code-switching in online communication. His recent work leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) and Transformers to help machines better understand and generate human-like text.

Natural Language Processing

Professor Derwin Suhartono’s research sits at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and human behavioral analysis, with a focus on Natural Language Processing (NLP). He experted Personality Computing, also known as Psychoinformatics, where he applies computational methods to psychology. Using machine learning algorithms to analyze digital footprints like social media text patterns, he develops models that automatically predict human personality traits. This work reveals how language usage reflects individual behavioral characteristics and enables personalized digital interactions.

Personality Recognition

As an educator, Professor Derwin Suhartono channels this expertise into a curriculum that prepares the next generation of AI specialists. He teaches core courses in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning, giving students essential knowledge in neural networks and algorithmic problem-solving. He also offers specialized electives in Natural Language Processing and Computational Intelligence, allowing students to engage directly with his research areas. In Advanced Knowledge System, he guides students in creating sophisticated data-driven applications that mirror human reasoning.
