Since February 2013 I am Juniorprofessor (assistant professor) for Semantic Web technologies at the Research Group Data and Web Science of the University of Mannheim (stay tuned for a brand new homepage coming soon!)
Main research interests:
- Knowledge acquisition:
unsupervised and weakly-supervised information extraction,
multilingual ontology learning and relation discovery from
large text collections and collaboratively constructed
resources.
- Natural Language
Processing: lexical semantics (word sense
disambiguation, knowledge-based and distributional
approaches to semantic similarity); discourse semantics and
pragmatics (entity disambiguation and classification,
coreference resolution, discourse coherence, automatic
document summarization).

After two wonderful years at the Linguistic Computing Laboratory (LCL) working with Roberto on BabelNet it's time to move on. I am thrilled to join, starting February 2013, the faculty of the University of Mannheim, where I will continue to work on exciting topics in AI and NLP!
