I am mainly interested in the following research topics:
- Natural Language Processing, Text Mining
- Information Systems (IS)
- Semantic Web
- Machine Learning (ML)
- Information Retrieval (IR)
- Computational Semantics/Linguistics
Specifically, I am currently working (among many other things ;-) on the LexInfo project. The aim of the LexInfo project is to create a model for grounding ontologies linguistically, i.e. to associate linguistic information to classes and properties in the ontology.
See more here.
I am also working on the problem of ontology localization.
