Reuben Mulongo
@reubenmulongo
Freelance linguistics expert specializing in AI and language analysis.
What I'm looking for
I am a linguist with a deep understanding of the intersection between language and AI. My expertise in psycholinguistics, computational linguistics, and sociolinguistics allows me to craft specialized prompts and evaluate AI outputs, ensuring their accuracy and linguistic authenticity. I am passionate about advancing generative AI models and thrive in remote work settings, contributing effectively to global teams.
As a Freelance Linguistics Consultant, I have developed over 50 specialized linguistic prompts for AI systems, significantly improving the accuracy of AI responses. My work includes designing evaluation rubrics that have resulted in a 30% improvement in output quality for domain-specific queries. I have also collaborated with research platforms to design corpus-based language models, enhancing second-language acquisition tools.
Previously, I served as a Lecturer in Linguistics at the University of Birmingham, where I delivered lectures on sociolinguistics and phonetics, supervised student research projects, and incorporated AI-based evaluation methods in assignments. My academic journey began with a Master’s Degree in Linguistics from the University of Birmingham, specializing in Phonetics and Psycholinguistics, and a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Nottingham.
