Welcome

We are a group of people passionate about language technology and natural language processing with diverse backgrounds. Natural language understanding is easy for humans but is challenging for computers. Our research is about designing computer systems that can understand, analyze, generate, and do other kinds of processing of natural language.  For this purpose, we develop novel methods for natural language processing which are based mostly on statistical and neural machine learning techniques (e.g. deep learning).

Our current members :

• Dr. Alexander Panchenko (Assistant Professor)
• Irina Nikishina (Ph.D. student)
• Daryna Dementieva (Ph.D. student)
• Viktoriia Chekalina (Ph.D. student)
• Nikolay Babakov (Ph.D student)
• Anton Razzhigaev (Ph.D student)
• David Dale (Research Engineer, part-time)
• Daniil Moskovskiy (Research Engineer, part-time)
• Alsu Vakhitova (Research Intern)
• Saba Anwar (Ph.D. student): co-supervised with Prof. Chris Biemann, based in the University of Hamburg, supported by DAAD
• Özge Segvili (Ph.D. student): co-supervised with Prof. Chris Biemann, based in the University of Hamburg, supported by DAAD
