Natural language processing research

This is the homepage of Johnny Bigert, former PhD student in theoretical computer science at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. My field of research was computational linguistics/natural language processing/language engineering. Visit the Human language technology group at Nada. I recieved my PhD degree April 8, 2005. My thesis can be found here (pdf).

Research

My research involved statistical methods for the detection of context-sensitive spelling errors (e.g. nice whether today) and parser robustness evaluation. Much of my work focused on automatic evaluation. To that end, we developed Missplel and AutoEval, which are open-source and freeware.

Publications and Software (AutoEval and Missplel) available on-line.
