Jussi Karlgren

I am a visiting assistant researcher at the Computer Science Department of New York University. My permanent position is at SICS, in Stockholm , Sweden , where I have my home page .
Currently involved in the TREC project at NYU.

Background and Reseach Goals

I received my B A in Computational Linguistics and Mathematics in 1988, a Licentiate of Philosophy in Computer and Systems Sciences 1992, and have since then been employed at SICS in the Language and Interaction group - the former Natural Language Processing group - which position I currently am on leave from to uphold a research assistant position at New York University. I have previously worked at SISU, been a visiting student at Columbia University, and a programming assistant at Xerox PARC. My primary interests are dialogue and communication, taken broadly enough to include human computer dialogue design, information retrieval, and language typology - my research has focused on ensuring that multimodal human-computer dialogue provides enough cues for natural language interaction to be natural, transparent, and intuitive; and in investigating surface cues in texts to aid text categorization. My long term research goal is to show how these two activities can be understood as investigation of the same cognitive mechanisms.
