Dr. Max Hadersbeck (Centrum für Informations- und Sprachverarbeitung - CIS)

Where is he working:
(Centrum für Informations- und Sprachverarbeitung - CIS) is the computational linguistics institute of the University of Munich (LMU). CIS is part of Faculty 13, the languages and linguistics faculty, and is colocated with LMU's computer science department on the east side of the English Garden in Munich.
CIS conducts interdisciplinary research on natural language processing (NLP) and its theoretical foundations. Our main approach is linguistically-informed statistical NLP: We use our deep understanding of language in our research and believe in the principle that learning is key to successful NLP -- the same way that the language capabilities of humans are based on learning. Some of the NLP problems we are working on are computational syntax and semantics, sentiment analysis, machine translation and semi-supervised learning, adaptation and extension of lexical resources.
The applications CIS research has traditionally focussed on are information extraction (IE), information retrieval (IR) and NLP resources needed for IE/IR. We have created the largest electronic lexicon of German as well as lexica for most European languages and for Chinese and Korean. Our work on IR includes methods for approximative search and the development of search engines that can exploit structured NLP analysis of documents.
More recently we have started focussing on applications in the humanities. We collaborate with scholars of language (the crowdsourcing platform Play4Science), historians (analysis and processing of historical corpora) and philosophers (work on an electronic Wittgenstein edition). LMU is home to some of the most prominent and diverse humanities faculties in Europe. Computational linguistics has a key role to play in this context as a collaboration partner for the humanities that addresses computational and methodological research questions.

what is his research field

In his institute he is one of the teachers for the programming courses. He offers software practices and lessons to learn students programming within complex software projects.

His favorite programming languages are C++, C and PERL. Currently he develops together with students a large Web2.0 project cisweb (see: cisweb64.cis.uni-muenchen.de) and sophisticated and very efficient End-of-Sentence detection programs (see: http://maxdemo.cis.uni-muenchen.de/home_demos/eos/index.html) and a corpus-search Tool wittfind, which finds utterances and word phrases in the Big-Typescript (see: http://wittfind.cis.uni-muenchen.de/.

Since 2 years he is cooperating with Dr. Alois Pichler, from the Wittgenstein Archive Bergen in Norway and forms an e-humanities working-group together with him: Wittgenstein Schholarship and in co-Text (see: http://www.cis.uni-muenchen.de/forschung/index.html)

Dr. Alois Pichler (Wittgenstein Source/Bergen Norwegen)

Wittgenstein Nachlass usw. ...

Where is he working:
Alois Pichler works at the Wittgenstein Archives (WAB) and Philosophy Department at the Univ. of Bergen. He teaches philosophy, but does also other things such as XML TEI markup of the Wittgenstein Nachlass transcriptions or thinking about and working on an ontology for Wittgenstein; additionally he enjoys involving himself in EU and other projects and their managements, incl. writing reports, putting up budgets etc. :) Alois has absolutely no programming competences and only a very restricted competence in applications of XML, TEI and OWL. He conceives of himself as someone who talks to everyone in the fields relevant for WAB, and helps them talk to each other: philosophers, lingusits, philologist, programmers, administrators, Semantic Webers, ontologists, XMLers ...
Alois is since 2001 responsible for WAB (since 1990 he has been working at WAB).
