Pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany

supervisors

Prof. Dr. Michael Kohlhase, Prof. Dr. Herbert Jaeger, Dr. Bruce R. Miller

description

Exploring the boundary and fusion between statistical and formal modeling approaches for natural language semantics. The main experiment envisions knowledge discovery of “definitional structures” in scientific publications. This data-driven exploration is based on large-scale corpora of mathematical publications, such as the Cornell e-Print archive and the Zentralblatt MATH database of mathematical reviews.

M.Sc. in Computer Science, Jacobs University Bremen, Germany

Prof. Dr. Michael Kohlhase, Dr. Magdalena Wolska

description

A linguistic survey of the structural phenomena in mathematical symbolism, evaluated via a Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) model. Designed and evaluated algorithms for knowledge management of disjunctive logical forms (ambiguous parse trees).

B.Sc. in Computer Science, Jacobs University Bremen, Germany
