About me

In 2004, I joined the CNTS Language Technology Group as a PhD student in computational stylometry under the supervision of Walter Daelemans. Since 2007, I am part of the Stylometry project team.

My research is about the automatic extraction of linguistic aspects of text that give information about the author or characteristics of the author - like gender, personality, etc. A system for computational stylometry can be applied to tasks like authorship attribution, personality prediction, gender prediction, or plagiarism detection on any type of text (be it literary, newspaper or blog).

My PhD defense will take place in the second half of 2010.
