Research Interests

  • Natural Language Processing, Dialogue Systems

    • Development of complete frameworks and toolkits for rapid prototyping of dialogue systems and for supporting dialogs in serious games.
    • Data collection (i.e. Wizard-of-OZ experiments) and automatic semantic annotation of dialogue corpora.
    • Application of Machine Learning techniques for interpretation and question answer in situated dialogues.
