I am an associate professor working in the area of Natural Language Processing, Artificial Inteligence, and related areas at the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic. My research interests include information extraction, information retrieval, machine translation, multimodal data interpretation, and optical music recognition.
