*New (Jul 10)*: Links to the three middleware packages described in our paper "Middleware for Incremental Processing in Conversational Agents" (SIGdial 2010, too many authors to list here) can be found here. *New (Sep 09)*: There is now a Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Dialogue and Discourse on Incremental Processing in Dialogue. *New (Mar 09)*: I'm co-organising (with Hannes Rieser / SFB Alignment in Bielefeld) workshop on Incrementality in Verbal Interaction (IVI-09). *New (Jan 09)*: The website for the new international journal Dialogue & Discourse is up, and the journal is (almost) ready to accept submissions! (You read it here first. :-) *New (Sep 08)*: The dialogue corpora we've collected over the last years are finally ready for release to the world. We're working on getting them out via more official distribution channels, but for now contact me if you're interested in the data. Documentation of the corpora is here (under Technical Reports). *New (Sep 08)*: Next semester (winter semester 08/09) I'll be working at Bielefeld University, substituting as Professor of Text Technology and Applied Computational Linguistics. (For one term only, until the chair is filled.) I can be reached through my normal Potsdam address, though, and will be in my office in Potsdam at least on Thursday and Friday. *New (Sep 08)*: *New (Apr 08)*: I've been elected to the SIGdial Science Advisory Committee for the term 2008-2009. ** Old News here ** Since October 2010, I am Professor of Applied Computational Linguistics at Bielefeld University. I will move this webpage over there eventually, but for now I will keep updating this one here (hosted at Potsdam). Since November 2006, I am a "Nachwuchsgruppenleiter" (roughly: Junior Research Professor?) at the Institute for Linguistics at the University of Potsdam, on an "Emmy Noether Excellent Researchers' Grant" from DFG (German Research Council). I am leading a project on incremental processing in dialogue, with smooth turn-taking as the central test case. (See the lab website.) From September 2003 until October 2006, I was a Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter (Post Doc) at the Institute, half-time faculty and half-time researcher in a project. What I was working on is reflected on this research statement and the list of publications. Between 1999 and 2003, I was studying for a PhD at the Institute for Communicating and Collaborative Systems (formerly part of the Department of Cognitive Science) in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, which I successfully defended in August 2003. I was also working as a Research Associate in the institute. The thesis, supervised by Alex Lascarides and Claire Grover, was concerned with the interpretation of phrasal fragments in dialogues. A more precise description, and also descriptions of the projects I'm currently working on can be found here. I received my first degree in Computational Linguistics, Philosophy and Computer Science from the Universität Bonn. I was based there at the Institut für Kommunikationsforschung und Phonetik (now sadly deceased / conglomerated into a new big institute). I am a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of SIGdial. I am Co-President (with Raquel Fernández) of semdial. I am a Managing Editor of Dialogue & Discourse. I was Publications Chair (with Kemal Oflazer) of EACL 2009. I was Co-Chair of SIGdial 2008 (with Beth Ann Hockey). I was Co-Chair of Brandial 2006 (with Raquel Fernández). I have reviewed for {E | NA | epsilon}ACLs, SIGdials, Colings and various workshops. I have also reviewed for NSF, Journal of Semantics, AI Journal, Natural Language Engineering, and Computational Linguistics. I have been on the Advisory Committee for the "Young Researchers' Roundtable on Dialogue Systems". I should get out more. |
