Title: Multilingual NLP: Parsing German & Multilingual Coreference 
Resolution

abstract:
In the last two decades, Natural Language Processing (NLP) has almost 
exclusively worked on English. However, when we apply the methods 
developed for English to other languages, at best, the performance is 
significantly below the results for English, but in many cases, the 
methods cannot be applied at all. This talk will concentrate on two 
problems, syntactic parsing and coreference resolution. For parsing, 
we will look at results for two German treebanks, which have a 
similar textual basis but different annotations schemes as well as 
strikingly different results. In the second part of the talk, I will 
present first results in multilingual coreference resolution, with a 
focus on markable extraction.

bio:
Sandra Kübler is an Assistant Professor and the Director of 
Computational Linguistics in the Department of Linguistics at Indiana 
University. She holds a PhD in Computational Linguistics from the 
University of Tübingen and an MA from the University of Trier, both 
in Germany. Before she moved to Indiana, Kübler spent time at the 
University of Tübingen and the University of Duisburg. Her main 
research areas are dependency parsing, parsing for morphologically 
rich languages (mostly German), and machine learning for 
Computational Linguistics problems (e.g. for anaphora resolution or 
word sense disambiguation). She is interested in how to integrate 
linguistic information into machine-learning approaches to 
Computational Linguistics.
