Galia Angelova studied Mathematics and Informatics at Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" and received her PhD from MTA SZTAKI (Computer and Automation Institute at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences). Her major fields of research are: knowledge-based natural language processing including analysis of clinical patient records in Bulgarian language, analysis of image tags and automatic tag sense recognition; data analytics and visualization; intelligent management of digital content. Prof. Angelova was the coordinator or principal investigator of more than 25 projects with international or national funding. In 2012-2016 she coordinated the project AComIn "Advanced Computing for Innovation", a 3.2 MEuro grant with the European Commission, FP7 Capacity, included by the European Commission in the book "Achievements of FP7: examples that make us proud". Galia Angelova has strong inclination towards building practical applications with integration of large-scale NLP. In 2015, together with medical experts from the University Specialized Hospital for Active Treatment of Endocrinology (USHATE) "Acad. Ivan Penchev", Medical University Sofia, her group generated automatically a National Diabetes Register, based on a large repository of outpatient records submitted to the Bulgarian National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF). Today the Register is hosted by USHATE, updated yearly with information extracted automatically from NHIF outpatient records for the respective year. Especially elaborated text extractors analyze free text fragments in the outpatient records and deliver to the Register values of clinical indicators: blood sugar, glycated hemoglobin, blood pressure, body-mass index etc.
