Presentation

My research comprises both basic and applied research involving structure and meaning in natural languages, particularly Danish and English. Among other things, my basic research investigates the possibility of translating hypotheses about linguistic structure and meaning into formal mathematical-logical representations suitable for use by computers. This is an important prerequisite for developing "intelligent" computersystems in a sense which comes anywhere near the human sense of intelligence since language forms the very basis on which the advanced human conceptual apparatus develops. In particular, on the applied side, I have worked in collaborative projects on systems for information retrieval and knowledge extraction from large text databases.

Primary research areas

  • Natural language syntax and semantics
  • Formal syntax and semantics of natural languages
  • The interface between world knowledge and natural language semantics
  • Natural language processing
  • Ontology-based, automated information retrieval and  extraction

Supervision

  • Primary Supervisor for PhD student Esben Alfort
    Project: "The Expression of a Need – Understanding search queries"
