| I'm a PhD student at the Language and Inference Technology
group at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. My PhD
research focuses on the use of natural language processing
techniques and resources for corpus-based Question Answering. We
are currently developing a Question Answering system called
Tequesta.
In addition I'm interested in other areas of information
processing and human language technology, such as Document
Retrieval, Summarization, and Information Extraction.

| Complete list of my
publications This list is reversely chronologically ordered, and
allmost all publications are available online. If you are looking for
a topically ordered list, follow the respective current research
activities links below.
During my research I've developed quite some software (note: the
emphasis here is on quantity not quality). Please see the respective
research areas below for further information how to get it.
The same holds for other resources, such as named entity list,
blingual dictionaries, decompounding lists, etc. Please follow the
respective current research activities links below.

| Question Answering Corpus-based question answering
systems aim at automatically returning an answer to a user's
question by analyzing a collection of natural language documents,
such as newspaper/newswire articles and web sites. Our local
efforts resulted in the implementation of the Tequesta system, more ...
Document Retrieval Internet search engines, e.g. Google,
are probably the most popular examples of document retrieval
systems. I'm interested in improving current methods, and in
particular how they can be adapted to languages other than
English. To this end, I've implemented the FlexIR retrieval
system, more ...
Document Layout Analysis and Reading Order Detection The
task is to determine the reading order from the scanned image of a
complex document. This project involves techniques from several
disciplines, such as document recognition, spatial reasoning, and
natural language processing, more ...
Computational Semantics and Theorem Proving During my
undergradute studies at the Institute for Natural Language
Processing (German: Instut für Maschinelle
Sprachverarbeitung), IMS, I got interested in the integration
of theorem proving techniques and underspecified representations of
natural language, more ...
