Prof Anne De Roeck FBCS, CITP
I am currently Chair of the Council of Professors and Heads of Computing.
I am interested in Natural Language Processing, or how to build systems that can deal with human language. This area is getting increasingly important, as more and more text based information finds its way into homes and businesses through the Web, Internet and Intranets.
My research interests lie in how to combine "deep", rule based NLP techniques with "shallow" statistical ones, to build systems which make it easier for users to access better quality information. I am also trying to stretch the boundaries of what we know how to do, by confronting familiar techniques with different languages, or text types. Most of my current research lies in the areas of Arabic language engineering, access to semi-structured data, and hybrid information systems.
I have long standing expertise in natural language front ends to databases and other structured data, both in terms of user query analysis, and the generation of natural language text from linguistically underspecified representations.
Over the last 20 years, I have worked on a wide range of topics in natural language processing, including machine translation, parsing, categorial grammar, semantics and anaphora resolution.
I supervise students in a more theoretical line of research in Computational Pragmatics, building axiomatic, inferential and implementable models of problematic context dependent phenomena.
