She holds an endowed Lichtenberg Chair in Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing of the Volkswagen Foundation. Her research in natural language processing (NLP) primarily concerns applied lexical semantic algorithms, such as computing semantic relatedness of words or paraphrase recognition, and their use to enhance the performance of NLP tasks, such as information retrieval, question answering, or summarization. She is particularly interested in innovative applications of NLP in the domains of collaborative information management, education, forensic linguistics, and digital humanities.
