Research Interests- generation and summarization
- discourse coherence and information structure
- cognitive and functional linguistics
I am working on automatic biography summarization in German. My interests lie in the field of computational linguistics rather than natural language processing, although I constantly use the benefits of machine learning. Ideally, I would like to build a system with a sound linguistic basis which would generate user-oriented biographies from input text(s).
During the first of year of my studies I have focused on local coherence, an essential property of texts generated by humans. Within this topic, I am intrigued by the interplay of word order and salience, accessibility and pronominalization. The data I am working with is in German, but I would like to see if the phenomena found in German also hold for languages with more/less rigid word order (English vs. Russian). | | Publications 2007 - German Vorfeld and Local Coherence | Special Issue on Coherence in Dialogue and Generation of Journal of Logic, Language, and Information (JoLLI).

| | About Me Before coming to EML, I studied at school and at University in St.Petersburg (BA in Linguistics), for the MA degree in CL in Tübingen (under supervision of Prof.Dr. Erhard Hinrichs and Dr. Sandra Kübler). Currently, I am a PhD student of Prof.Dr. Elke Teich at TU Darmstadt.
In case you wonder what the best time to go to Petersburg is, I suggest June, late August-early September, and January. If you have to choose between Heidelberg and Tübingen, I would recommend visiting Heidelberg. Even if this information is of no use for you, well, you still have learned something about me. | | Personal Interests I am pretty much interested in everything, in particular, good books, good music, good pictures, and juggling (although I am still clumsy with four). It is tempting to write more, so I might put a list with exact names and titles of what I consider "good". |
