Inductive Dependency Parsing

Sandra Kübler is Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics at Indiana University, where she has worked since 2006. She received her M.A. from the University of Trier and her Ph.D. in Computational Linguistics from the University of Tubingen. Sandra's research focuses on data-driven methods for syntactic and semantic processing. For her dissertation work, she developed a novel memory-based approach to parsing spontaneous speech. This parser was integrated into the Verbmobil speech-to-speech translation system. Sandra is currently interested in parsing German, a non-configurational language, for which several treebanks are available. Her research focuses on comparisons between constituent-based and dependency-based parsing and comparisons of how different annotation schemes influence parsing results.
