Together with Rainer Osswald, I am organizing the computational linguistics poster session at the 44th annual meeting of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS) in Tübingen which will be held online. The poster session is organized by the Special Interest Group on Computational Linguistics of the DGfS. The call for abstracts can be found here: https://uni-tuebingen.de/de/220206 Note that the deadline for submissions is November 23, 2021.

Together with Rafael Ehren, Kuba Waszczuk and Laura Kallmeyer, I’m currently organizing a shared task at KONVENS 2021 that aims at disambiguating literal and idiomatic occurrence of German verbal multi-word expressions, so-called verbal idioms (VIDs), in running text. An example would be the VID Das Konzert fiel ins Wasser (‘The concert was canceled’) as opposed to literal counterparts such as Das Handy fiel ins Wasser (‘The mobile phone fell into the water’).

As of September 2018, I’m coordinator of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Tübingen. Before that, I was postdoc researcher and principal investigator in project A02 of the CRC991 at the University of Düsseldorf. Before that, I did my PhD within Laura Kallmeyer’s Emmy Noether project at the University of Tübingen. Before that I had been studying General Linguistics, Rhetorics and Computer Science in Tübingen and Berlin.
