Research
The research of my group is focused on developing corpus-based statistical methods for multilingual semantic processing as a basis for advanced applications in language processing.
Our research covers topics in the areas of- multilingual resource creation
- lexical semantic acquisition and processing
- discourse processing
- ontology-based NLP
- NLP applications
- multi-modal intelligent system applications, in particular, interaction of language and vision
- NLP for cultural heritage and social sciences
