Abstract

I am an NLP researcher. I started my academic career as a classicist, with a focus on the study of Ancient Greek and Latin grammar. I earned my PhD in Classical Philology in 2008, with a thesis on word order in Plato’s Phaedo. I was a research fellow for a project on argument structure in Ancient Greek and Yucatec Maya in 2012–2013 (University of Erfurt and Pavia). In late 2013, I joined the Humboldt Chair of Digital Humanities at Leipzig University to work on the treebank of Ancient Greek and Latin. In April 2018, I joined the Natural Language Processing Group of Leipzig University, where I worked until September 2018 on a project on actionality classes and coding asymmetries. Since October 2018, I have been funded by DFG to continue my work on the Ancient Greek and Latin Dependency Treebank.
