About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Computer Science at Aarhus University. I am part of the Data-Intensive Systems Group.
My research spans a variety of topics related to the use of Machine Learning in Natural Language Processing. Currently, my main research interest lies in the area of Information Extraction (IE). I am particularly interested in linking the information in text to Knowledge Bases and leveraging the external knowledge sources to improve the performance of IE tasks.
