Research

I am a senior researcher at the Center for Language Technology, University of Copenhagen. I have been working in the following fields: methodologies for constructing knowledge bases for NLP and information extraction, grammar formalism and implementation (HSPG), computational lexicography, evaluation of NLP resources, corpus linguistics. My main research is in discourse structure and intersentential pronominal anaphora resolution, but  I am also interested in multimodal communication and annotation of multimodal corpora.

Teaching

This term I am teaching a language technology course with colleagues from CST at the IT and cognition education and an information extraction course with colleagues from CST and DIKU.
