NEWS

Two positions for PhD students in the NLP group available.

According to Google Scholar our AAAI '06 and our AAAI '07 papers are the most cited papers of the top conference in AI (Google Scholar query for AAAI 2006 and AAAI 2007)!

I was area chair for Discourse, Dialogue and Pragmatics at ACL '09.

Together with Anette Frank I lead the Computational Linguistics Colloquium in the CL Department at the University of Heidelberg and also the PhD colloquium.

I taught classes on Sentiment Analysis in the CL Department at the University of Heidelberg in the summer term 2009 and at the DGFS-CL Computational Linguistics Fall School 2009 in September 2009.

New project in the NLP group:
Cosyne: A project on Multi-lingual Content Synchronization with Wikis -- an ICT-STREP project funded by the European Commision. The project will start in March 2010. More news later!

Work Information

I am group leader of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) Group at EML Research gGmbH. There, I am involved in NLP related projects, advise the computational linguists who work at EML Research, and supervise a number of students.

I am a member of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) and of ACL's and ISCA's Special Interest Group for Discourse and Dialogue (SIGdial).

Publications

Publications in Journals and Books, Conference Proceedings, Workshop Proceedings, and Complete List of Publications

Search for my publications at Google Scholar.

Send me email if you want to get a copy of a paper not linked on these pages (in those cases we had to transfer the copyright to the respective publishers; maybe linguists should follow the good example of JAIR and start to publish in open access journals).

Biographical Information

I completed my Ph.D. in the (now defunct) Computational Linguistics Group at the University of Freiburg, Germany, in December 1996 (the group moved to Jena). Between 1997 and 1999 I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Research in Cognitive Science at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA. In January 2000 I joined the European Media Lab in Heidelberg, Germany, as a researcher. Since January 2001 I am group leader of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) Group which is now part of EML Research gGmbH.
