Past Projects
Applied Text Generation: Auto-Text
Auto-Text is a system for automatic generation of air polution reports.
The project was founded by the Ministry of Environment and Traffic of the
province Badenwürttemberg.
The Auto-Text system was developted by Leo Wanner and Bernd Bohnet using
an early release of the MATE system.
Since 2001 the system is in summer from april to september online available.
The system is hosted by the UMEG one of the project partners (AutoText via link Ozon-Kurzberichte).
Automatic semantic classifikation of collocations
The goal of the Projekt with the title Acciones Integradas Hispano-Alemans
2003-D/0232983 was the automatic classifikation of Spanish
collocations. The project was supported by the DAAD.
Applied Text Generation - Multimodal Air Quality Information Service for
General Public: Marquis Marquis is a cross-border information service that
provides user-tailored analysis, interpretation, and multilingual communication
for meteorological and air quality information for selected regions in the
EU. The project is part of eContent program of the EU and it lasts from 2005
until 2006. I have lead the work package Multimodal and Multilingual Information Generation.
Innovative Language Technology: IS
Currently, we start a company for Natural Language Processing which is support by the
Technoloy Transfer Initiative of University of Stuttgart and the state of Baden-Württemberg.
