March 2011
ACL has released the list of long papers to be presented at this year's conference. Seven of the first authors of accepted papers are from IfNLP. If we counted right, then this makes IfNLP as successful this year as Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and UC Berkeley. First place goes to CMU with nine papers.
February 2011
IfNLP researcher Sabine Schulte im Walde has been awarded a prestigious DFG Heisenberg fellowship. The Heisenberg Program is intended for outstanding and highly qualified researchers to make sure they continue their careers in science and research. Sabine was also awarded funding for a postdoc and a doctoral student. Her research will focus on distributional approaches to semantic relatedness.
January 2011
The official website of LabPhon 13, the 13th Conference on Laboratory Phonology, has been launched here. LabPhon is the premier international meeting in the area of quantitative and laboratory methods in phonology and held every two years. IfNLP will be organizer and host of the 2012 meeting.
December 2010
Our faculty, Faculty 5 CS&EE, established a committee for granting Dr. phil. degrees this month. We now have the ability to grant both Dr. phil. and Dr. rer. nat. degrees, depending on whether the focus of a dissertation is in computational linguistics or CS-oriented natural language processing. This makes IfNLP the only institute in Germany in our research area that offers both Dr. phil. and Dr. rer. nat. degrees as part of its regular doctoral degree programs.
November 2010
Dr. Andreas Maletti, a leading researcher in the area of tree automata and the recipient of a prestigious Emmy Noether fellowship, has selected IfNLP as the hosting institution for his research group. Emmy Noether fellows are free to choose any university in Germany. We are very excited that Andreas has selected Stuttgart as the best environment for conducting his research.
October 2010
The graduate college of SFB 732 officially started this month. The first six graduate students received one-year fellowships to study with faculty members who are part of the SFB. A program of classes and events is offered to the six new students and the 20+ graduate students that work for individual SFB projects.
September 2010
We hosted the IVA4NLP workshop on September 17. About 40 researchers met in Vaihingen to discuss prospects and challenges of using interactive visual analysis for natural language processing, computational linguistics and information retrieval. The event was part of the DFG SPP (Schwerpunktprogramm) 1335 Scalable Visual Analysis.
July 2010
The groundbreaking ceremony for our new building took place on July 16th. We are looking forward to moving into a brandnew building on the main campus (probably end of 2011) and would like to thank the University of Stuttgart and state and federal governments for financing this project.
