I am a research associate at the University of Szeged, Department of Computer Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence and I am a senior researcher of the Natural Language Processing group. Previously, I worked on industrial Machine Learning projects at Fraunhofer, Germany (2003) and with Csaba Szepesvári (2005-'06). I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Szeged in 2010.

My chief research interest is on real-world applications of statistical Information Extraction and Text Mining.

NaturalLanguageProcessing

  • Information Extraction, Named Entity Recognition
  • Document labeling, free text tagging
  • Exploitation of unlabeled texts (semi-, unsupervised learning)

MachineLearning

  • Incremental machine learning from human feedback (human-in-the-loop)
  • Utilising different sources of information
  • Novel models for language phenomena
