Hi!

Dialogue

Welcome to my personal website. Since January 2011, I'm working as a PhD research fellow at the Department of Informatics of the University of Oslo, where I'm pursuing a PhD in Computational Linguistics under the joint supervision of Stephan Oepen, Erik Velldal and Geert-Jan M. Kruijff. Before coming to Oslo, I worked for 2 years as a researcher at the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) in Saarbrücken, where I was involved in several EU-funded research projects.

My general research interest lies in the development of efficient algorithms for spoken dialogue systems. My PhD concentrates on decision-making algorithms for adaptive dialogue management in complex, open-ended interactions. The goal is to provide a new hybrid approach to dialogue management which combines rich linguistic knowledge (pragmatic rules, dialogue structure) with statistical models and planning under uncertainty into a single, unified framework.

If you're interested in my research and would like to know more, feel free to drop me an email!
