I'm a Ph.D. Student at the language technology group, under the supervision of Prof. Chris Biemann. My main interests are unsupervised methods for focused web crawling and relation extraction using distributional methods.
In the past I was a scholarship holder for the KDSL (Knowledge Discovery in Scientific Literature) program and an associate researcher in the AIPHES program.
Currently I work in a project that combines ontologies with semantically induced information from text (JOIN-T).
