Former and present Collaborators
- Mike Calcagno
- After having been a guest student, Calcagno returned in 1998 from Ohio
State University to collaborate, for a year, on Project B8 of the SFB
340. He worked on the implementation of German grammar fragments
in TRALE.
- Kordula De Kuthy
- Began her studies in Tübingen, earned her doctorate at Saarbrücken
graduate school of cognitive sciences and then returned to Tübingen,
to coordinate the implementation of German grammar fragments in TRALE
during the B8 project of the SFB 340, until the end of 2000. Her earlier
experience with implementing the first Tübingen grammar fragment in
ConTroll in 1997 served her in her work with TRALE.
- Frederik Fouvry
- Came to Tübingen from the University of Essex, in 1999 and stayed
until the end of the B8 project of the SFB 340, to work on the
implementation of the TRALE system. In particular, he also worked on
problems of linearization-based grammars.
- Dale Gerdemann
- As Akademischer Rat (lecturer) for computational linguistics,
he co-supervised project B4 of the SFB 340 and most notably supported
the development and implementation of ConTroll and TRALE.
- Thilo Götz
- Studied in Tübingen and worked from 1994 to 1997 on Project B4 of the SFB
340. Thilo was a main developer of the theoretical and computational
foundations of the ConTroll system, which was in turn decisively influenced
through the formalization of HPSG by Paul King. Thilo transferred at
the end of 1997 to IBM's Watson Research Center in the USA.
- John Griffith
- Worked on Project B4 of the SFB 340 from its start until leaving Tübingen
in 1998. Collaborated on the development of the implementation
platform ConTroll.
- Erhard Hinrichs
- Professor in Computational Linguistics at the Seminar für
Sprachwissenschaft. Initiated the Tübingen HPSG projects in the SFB 340
and established in cooperation with Tsuneko Nakazawa, the analysis of
argument raising of German verbal complexes in HPSG, which is widely
accepted today.
- Tilman N. Höhle
- Instructor in the German department at the University of Tübingen.
He regularly teaches courses in German Syntax. His introductory courses
to HPSG (since 1992) have established the HPSG tradition in Syntax
seminars in Tübingen's curriculums. His association with the relevant
HPSG-projects of the SFB has had a powerful influence on the choice
of topics there.
- Anke Holler-Feldhaus
- Studied and earned a doctorate degree in Tübingen. Worked in the Marga
Reis group for a project of the former SFB 340. Worked with the syntax
and semantics of wh-questions, among other areas of research.
- Stephan Kepser
- Studied in Tübingen, earned a doctorate degree in Munich and returned
to Tübingen as collaborator on Project A2 of the SFB 441. The topic of
his Masters' dissertation was a satisfaction algorithm for SRL. He
also worked on the model theoretical basis of grammar formalisms,
among other areas for HPSG.
- Paul John King
- Came in 1992 to Tübingen from Stanford. He held a variety of positions
in Tübingen, until December of 1999. As he devised SRL (Speciate
Re-entrant Logic), he sparked the Tübingen obsession with the formal
basis of HPSG and had a lasting influence on the Tübingen research in
the area.
- Valia Kordoni
- Came to Tübingen from the University of Essex in Colchester in
1997. She worked in Tübingen until the autumn of 2000 on the Verbmobil
project. Her interest in Lexical Functional Grammar and HPSG soon led
her to spirited collaboration with the HPSG group in the SFB 340.
- Anna Kupsc
- From 1999 to 2000, wrote her dissertation as a doctoral student of
the CLaRK programme on issues of Polish syntax, in Tübingen.
- Walt Detmar Meurers
- Studied in Tübingen and directly went to work on the projects B4 and
B8 of the SFB 340 on, among other areas, the implementation of the
ConTroll system, and on various grammar fragments of German. Among his
interests were various problems of German syntax, in particular verbal
complexes. At the end of his time in Tübingen, he held the post of
Assistent am Lehrstuhl (roughly equivalent to Assistant
Professor) before moving on to Ohio State University as an Assistant
Professor.
- Guido Minnen
- Longstanding collaborator on the B4 project of the SFB 340
(until 1998), where he worked on off-line grammar compilation techniques
for efficient parsing and generation in the context of the development of
the ConTroll system. Guido currently works for
the Dialog Systems Group within DaimlerChrysler
(guido.minnen@daimlerchrysler.com).
- Paola Monachesi
- Spent almost two years as a post doctorate at the Department of Linguistics,
from January 1996 to September 1997. Along with her participation in the numerous
discussions about the foundations of HPSG, she was also responsible
for the analysis of clitics, especially in romance languages, such as
Romanian and Italian, becoming an intensively discussed topic.
- Gerald Penn
- Began work on the projects of the SFB 340 in 1996 and continued until
summer 1999. In particular, he worked on the implementation of
ConTroll, ALE and TRALE and on the mathematical foundations, on which
these systems are based. He also did work on theoretical questions of
the analysis of Serbo-Croatian in a new version of linearization
grammars as well as on the logical foundations of HPSG. He now holds
the post of Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at
the University of Toronto.
- Gergana Popova
- Came to Tübingen in 1998 as a doctoral student of the CLaRK programme
and worked in the CLaRK programme. She stayed until the ending of
CLaRK, in autumn 2000. She then went on to the University of Essex.
- Adam Przepiórkowski
- Earned his doctorate degree at Tübingen's graduate college of
"Integrated Linguistic Studies" and sparked interest here, primarily in
the analysis of Slavic Languages, particularly of Polish, in the
context of HPSG.
- Sabine Reinhard
- In addition to her work in the Verbmobil project, she nurtured a
relationship to the HPSG-group. She developed an extensive
morphological theory in her dissertation, which she formulated in
HPSG.
- Frank Richter
- Studied in Tübingen and after studying in Tübingen went directly to
work for the B8 project of the SFB 340, on the logical foundations of
HPSG and on German grammar fragments. Since 2000, has held the
post of Assistent am Lehrstuhl (roughly equivalent to Assistant
Professor) in computational linguistics and has participated
in several HPSG projects at the Seminar für Sprachwissenschaft.
- Stefan Riezler
- Earned his doctorate degree at Tübingen's graduate college,
"Integrated Linguistic Studies" in probabilistic methods in Constraint
Logic Programming. During his time in Tübingen, there was a lively
exchange with the group interested in the logical foundations of HPSG.
- Manfred Sailer
- Studied in Tübingen and after studying in Tübingen went directly to
work for the project B8 of the SFB 340 as a researcher. Was a lecturer
from 1997 to 1999. Since 1999, he has done research work on projects
of the SFB 441 on HPSG-centered topics. Participated in the grammar
development in ConTroll and recently has been working on the
integration of semantic representation languages and on the analysis of
distributional idiosyncrasies in HPSG. He is now at the University of
Göttingen.
- Kiril Simov
- Works at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and first visited our
Linguistics department in the early 1990s. Wrote a few papers, in
collaboration with Paul King, about the logical foundations of HPSG
and is a regular guest in Tübingen, as a participant in shared
projects.
- Markus Steinbach
- Briefly collaborated on the project B8 of the SFB 340 in 1998, when he
worked on German grammar fragments, focusing on parentheticals, then
transferred to the University of Mainz, where he became Akademischer
Rat in 2002.
- Beata Trawinski
- Joined the project B8 of the SFB 340 and worked on the implementation of
German grammar fragments in TRALE and on the analysis of German
nominal phrases. From autumn 2001 through summer 2003, she worked on the
MiLCA-project A4, Grammar Formalisms and Parsing. Since August 2003
she has been on the project A5 of SFB 441.
- Jesse Tseng
- Came in 1999 from the University of Edinburgh to the B8 project of the SFB
340, where he worked on the implementation of German syntax fragments
in TRALE and meanwhile concluded his dissertation on the analysis of
prepositions. After the end of that project, he transferred to Paris.
- Nathan Vaillette
- Came to Tübingen twice, and stayed a year each time. He first came as
an exchange student from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst
and came once again while doing his graduate studies at Ohio State
University in Columbus. During his first stay, he worked with Paul
King on problems of formal foundations of HPSG. During his second stay
in 2000 and 2001, he took an interest in relative clause phenomena and
resumptive pronouns in Hebrew and Irish, in the context of HPSG.
- Heike Winhart
- Was a colleague during the first phase of the B8 project of the SFB 340,
where she was responsible for the development of an analysis of
nominal phrases in the German syntax fragment.
- Shuly Wintner
- Was a post-doctoral fellow from 1997 to 1998,
after a previous visit to Tübingen in 1994. Among other things, he worked
during this time on an analysis of definite articles and nominal
