Kalina Bontcheva

Senior researcher in the Natural Language Processing Group, Department of Computer Science, University of Sheffield. From October 2010, I also hold an EPSRC Career Acceleration Fellowship, working on personalised summarisation of social media.

Other topics I've been working on are mining information from patents, sentiment analysis, collaborative environments for text annotation, and GATE. I'm also an area co-chair for Information Extraction at ACL'2010 and workshops co-chair at ESWC'2010

I am the Co-Investigator on the JISC-funded TextVRE project. Between 2006 and 2009 I was the Principal Investigator on 3 EU-funded projects (MUSING, TAO, and ServiceFinder) and the co-ordinator of the TAO consortium, which involved 7 partner institutions.

Between 2004 and 2006 I was Sheffield's technical project manager and researcher on the SEKT Integrated Project. Before that, I was Sheffield's technical manager and researcher on the MIAKT e-science project and I also contributed to the AKT project. I have also been working on Sheffield's GATE open-source NLP infrastructure since 1999.
