I am currently approaching my PhD on the topic of Multilingual Coreference Resolution. I am mostly interested in the necessary steps and methods  needed for the development of Coreference Resolution systems in a general and multilingual manner and in a way that they still achieve a competitive performance with state-of-the-art systems. In my work I mostly make use of Machine Learning in the form of Memory Based Learning.
