Projects
Projects I am currently working on
META-NET is an international project, carried out by 13 partners in 10 countries, funded by the EU. This Network of Excellence is dedicated to building the technological foundations of a multilingual European information society. Together wird Hans Uszkoreit I coordinate this project as its Network Manager.
There are some pet projects and project outlines I work on (the list is not supposed to be exhaustive).
- Machine learning-based automatic web genre identification in Wikipedia articles (with the ultimate goal of automatically learning ontologies)
- A comparative and empirical study on different types of usage of quotation marks in selected web genres and in traditional genres
