Simon Dobnik
Professor
Linguistics and Theory of Science unitAbout Simon Dobnik
I am Professor of Computational Linguistics at the Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of Science at University of Gothenburg, Sweden. I am a member of the Centre for Language Technology (CLT) and the Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP), both at University of Gothenburg.
My research interests include computational models of language and perception, human-robot interaction, situated spoken dialogue systems, and computational representations of meaning (semantics).
