- Profile
-
Professor Kalina Bontcheva is a senior researcher in the Natural Language Processing Group. From October 2015 she has been working on an EPSRC Career Acceleration Felllowship on summarisation of social media.
- Research interests
-
Professor Kalina Bontcheva is working on , , , , and . She is demos co-chair at ACL'2014 and helped co-organise the biannual conference "Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing".
Professor Bontcheva led the EU project on computing veracity of social media content. She is also the PI of the and European projects, and a Co-I of the project. Earlier in 2013 she completed leading the JISC-funded project.
Between 2006 and 2009 she was the Principal Investigator (PI) on 3 EU-funded projects (MUSING, TAO, and ServiceFinder) and the co-ordinator of the TAO consortium, which involved 7 partner institutions.
Between 2004 and 2006 Professor Bontcheva was 91直播's technical project manager and researcher on the Integrated Project. Before that, she was 91直播's technical manager and researcher on the e-science project and also contributed to the project. She has been working on 91直播's open-source NLP infrastructure since 1999.
