Talks and Presentations

Here you can find the slides for a range of talks I have given, in most of which I present my own research. The earliest ones are presentations held in the context of graduate seminars at the University of Tübingen, and I continue to host them here because they might be of use to other students of computational linguistics. Ask me if you want to use some of my materials in your own presentations, I am always willing to share figures and LaTeX sources.
