I am generally interested in a wide range of topics related to natural language processing. These span grammar formalisms, constraint logics, constraint solving, machine learning, learning of lexical relations, question answering systems, minimally supervised learning of syntax, semantics and morphology.
If you are interested in a PhD programme in one of the above topics then please email me. Please note that full funding for non-EU students is extremely difficult to get. Non-EU students will require both the ORS (Overseas Research Scheme) scholarship and a university funding to be fully funded. Check the university finance section for details.
