Research

Interests

My main interest is language technology, i.e., how to get computers to understand human language. At the moment I am mostly into grammar formalisms in a very general sense: How we can use grammars to specify and encode more information than just linguistic syntax.

Projects

Currently I am involved in the research projects MUSTE, NLTK, and (partly) REMU. Previously I have been involved in the research projects GRASP, Lekbot, SubTTS/Pratmakaren, FraCaSBank, MOLTO, DICO, TRIK, TALK, TRINDI, INDI, and SDS. I am also involved in the language technology company Talkamatic.

Publications

There is a separate page with links to my publications, including some unpublished work and presentations. The University of Gothenburg has a separate list with the same information (but not as nicely formatted).

Software

All open-source software I have been working on the past years can be found on Github and Googlecode.

Teaching

Courses

Apart from occasional lectures on a number of courses, I am or have been responsible (sometimes partly) for the following undergraduate and graduate courses:

Artificial Intelligence (2013–2014), Data Structures (2011–2012), Natural Language Processing (2011), Programming for NLP (2010), Information Refinement (2009), Language Theory: Syntax (2009), Semantics (2008), Dialogue Systems (2008), Laboratory Course in Language Technology (2008), Computational Syntax and Semantics (2007–2009), Natural Language Processing (2008), Project Course in Language Technology (2007, 2009), Thesis Seminars (2005–2007), Parsing Methods (2005), Parsing Algorithms (2002–2006), Logic Programming (1999–2001).

Supervision

I have supervised the following masters students, most of them in various language technology areas:

Christel Nyberg (2001), Håkan Burden (2005), Martin Johansson (2006), Johanna Lidskog (2007), Agne Frisch and Martin Stenberg (2008), Johan Behrenfeldt (2009), Martin Hammarstedt and Jonatan Uppström (2010), Achilleas Katsaros (2011), Robin Persson (2012), Apostolos Apostolidis (2013), Benjamin Glass and Rajsekhar Iyer (2013), Cuicui Sun (2013).

Moreover, I am assistant supervisor for PhD student Håkan Burden.

Private

I am living with my wife Saga and our two children Signe and Elis. The rest you can ask me about when we meet.
