WORK INFORMATION
I am a member of the Natural Language Processing group at EML Research in Heidelberg, Germany. There, I am involved in the research on the application of lexical semantics to NLP tasks, such as e.g. information retrieval, dialogue summarization and anaphora resolution. Also, I am affiliated with School of Information Technology at the International University in Bruchsal, Germany.
I am a member of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), of ACL's and ISCA's Special Interest Group for Discourse and Dialogue (SIGdial), and of Special Interest Group on Computational Semantics (SIGSEM), and supervise some students.
Research interests:
- Computational lexical semantics
- Information retrieval and summarization
- Discourse and dialogue processing
- Dialogue systems
Teaching:
- Summer Term 2005: Processing of large corpora with methods of lexical semantics (a seminar), orig. title "Erschließung großer Korpora mit Verfahren der lexikalischen Semantik". Department of Computational Linguistics, University of Heidelberg, Germany. The course homepage is here.
- Winter Term 2005: Computational Linguistics (theoretical course complemented by a student project). International University (Bruchsal, Germany)
- Winter Term 2004: Introduction to Computational Linguistics (theoretical course complemented by a student project). International University (Bruchsal, Germany)
