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 Lekbot, GRASP, SubTTS/Pratmakaren, FraCaSBank, NLTK, and (partly) MOLTO. Previously I have been involved in the research projects 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There is a separate page with links to my publications, including some unpublished work and presentations.

Software

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