Peter Bourgonje
I'm a guest researcher at the Applied CL Discourse Research Lab. I have a background in Computational Linguistics (BA & MA from Utrecht University, the Netherlands, PhD from Potsdam University, Germany) and have worked in several companies (linkedin profile) as a computational linguist. Currently, I am working at Morningsun Technology, an NLP start-up still in stealth mode at time of writing this text.
My academic research focused on discourse parsing, but in general, over the last decade, I have been working in the broader area of NLP, including but not limited to Named Entity Recognition, Relation Extraction and Machine Translation.
