NEW! Check out the First NLG Challenge on Generating Instructions in Virtual Environments!

Welcome to my homepage at the University of Edinburgh, where I am spending the second of two years as a post-doctoral research fellow, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. I spent the first year at Columbia University.

My primary research interests are computational semantics and the development of efficient algorithms in computational linguistics. My main line of research is currently efficient sentence generation, but I am also interested in learning semantic information from corpora, and many other topics.

On this website, you can find the list of my publications, some of my recent talks (to the extent that I've had time to put them online), and some software that I've been involved in.

Links to the courses I've taught at Saarbrücken can be found on my old homepage. I'm particularly proud of the talking robots projects I supervised together with Geert-Jan Kruijff (see a video).
