Portrait and Research Interests

I am a postdoc staff member in Computational Linguistics (CL) at the Institute of Computational Linguistics and computing scientist (wissenschaftlicher Informatiker) at the English Department of the University of Zurich.

I have written a a low-complexity, broad-coverage probabilistic Dependency Parser for English, Pro3Gres, as part of my doctoral thesis.

DOWNLOAD MY DOCTORAL THESIS:
Hybrid Long-Distance Functional Dependency Parsing

My CV and publications (selected articles can be downloaded).

My research interests are

My interests also include UNIX and Mac OS X system administration, Prolog and Perl programming, desktop publishing, travelling, literature, jogging and cycling. I teach Prolog, theoretical computing science, and semantic web at Fernfachhochschule Schweiz (Swiss distance learning UAS). I have taught Prolog and Perl at the CL department of the University of Geneva.

Dependency Grammar and Robust Parsing

I have written a low-complexity, broad-coverage probabilistic Dependency Parser for English, Pro3Gres, as part of my doctoral thesis.

I have written my Master's Paper on Dependency Grammar and the partly dependency-based Link Grammar. I am currently developing Pro3Gres: a robust, probabilistic parser for a Dependency Grammar. In winter 2003/2004 and winter 2005/2006 I am teaching Dependency Grammar Parsing. In winter 2006/2007 I am teaching Parsing Technology.

Corpus Linguistics

Both the English Seminar and the Institute of Computational Linguistics have a long tradition in Corpus Linguistics research. In summer 2003, I teach a seminar on Corpus Linguistics. In summer 2006, I teach a colloquium on Corpus Linguistics. In spring 2008, I teach a lecture on Corpus Linguistics, together with Fabio Rinaldi. In spring 2008, I teach the workshop at the ICAME conference, together eith Hans Martin Lehmann and Nelleke Oostdjik.

BioMedical Parsing and Relation Finding

Our research on an important application of my high-precision robust parser has started in 2005, and is an NFS project since 2008. OntoGene: Relation Finding in the BioMedical domain.

Semantics

I have worked in the European Semantic Web project REWERSE, from 2004 to 2005, in the controlled language and semantics project Attempto.

Information Retrieval

From 2000 to 2004, I have worked in an unsupervised text classification project at the CL department of the University of Geneva

Question Answering

From 1999 to 2000 I have worked in the ExtrAns Project in Zurich.

Formal Grammars

Since the winter term 1999/2000 I sometimes teach the syntax course of the Zurich CL curriculum. We focus on GB, LFG and HPSG.
