Research

I completed my studies in Poland (computer science, specialization in software engineering) where I become interested in natural language processing. After experimenting with various fields of NLP I finally decided to commit myself to automatic syntax analysis and specifically dependency parsing.

I came to Japan to perform a series of experiments using dependency parsers. Since I couldn't get the funding for linguistic resources that I needed, I decided to join a team working with affective computing. Our main achievements were the emoticon analysis system and the large corpus designed for researchers who deal with affective computing.

Sadly I don't have time anymore to continue my research.

Below you can find the list papers that I have written (or co-authored) so far.
