Michael Roth
M.Sc., Ph.D. candidate
About me
I am a researcher and PhD candidate in the doctoral program Semantic Processing and in the CL research group of Anette Frank. My research focuses on discourse-level phenomena in semantic processing and coherence modeling. More generally, my research interests include lexical and event-level semantics, discourse analysis and distributional models of meaning. I am always interested in supervising related student projects and BSc/MSc theses.
Data
In 2012, I published two papers on the manual and automatic alignment of predicate-argument structures -- a task closely related to (cross-document) event coreference. All data sets connected to these papers are now freely available for research purposes:
- Documents -- IDs of comparable texts in the Gigaword corpus
- Annotations -- Manually annotated development and test set
(Updated March 15: now also contains unaligned predicates) - Alignments -- Set of >200k automatically aligned predicates (NEW!)
