About me

I am a computational corpus linguist at the Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics in Budapest. I specialize in data-driven research of Hungarian preverb constructions (see my Ph.D. dissertation). I am interested in Natural Language Processing, especially in fine-tuning existing tools and developing new ones for corpus building and dictionary editing. I was among the creators of the Old Hungarian Corpus, the Parallel Bible Reader and the UraLUID database. Apart from my academic work, I am a freelance language technologist and a language enthusiast.
