Hello, world!
I'm Anders Björkelund.
I'm a researcher in
the Computational
Science for Health and Environment group at
the Centre for Environmental and
Climate Science at Lund
University. Despite the apparent affiliation, I'm not a climate
scientist but a computer scientist specialized in machine
learning. I am, broadly speaking, working on machine-learning
applications on medical data in the healthcare domain.
I am originally from Lund, Sweden and did my undergraduate in
computer science at Lund University. I obtained my doctoral degree
at the
Institute for Natural
Language Processing in Stuttgart, Germany
[dissertation].

Open Source Software
- Dependency-based SRL system
I built a system for
dependency-based semantic role labeling during my master's
thesis. A cleaned up version of the code
is available on
Google Code, along with Bernd Bohnet's dependency
parsers. Note that as Google Code closed the code repositories
were taken down. All that remains are some tar balls for download
but they are nevertheless sufficient to access the code.
- Coreference Resolver -- old
With Richárd Farkas
I wrote up a coreference resolver for
the CoNLL 2012 Shared
Task (Björkelund and Farkas,
2012; download
source code). I used the same system (with some
modifcations) for the COLING 2012 paper Phrase-structures
and Dependencies for End-to-End Coreference Resolution
(Björkelund and Kuhn,
2012; download
source code).
- Coreference Resolver -- (somewhat) newer
In our
ACL 2014 paper, Jonas Kuhn and I describe a coreference system
based on latent antecedents and non-local features (Björkelund
and Kuhn, 2014;
download source code). It is clearly superior to the systems
above, and obtained the best results at the time on all CoNLL
2012 Shared Task data sets (Arabic, Chinese, and English).
- Transition-based Dependency Parser
For our paper
on non-deterministic oracles for transition-based parsers
(Björkelund and Nivre,
2015; download source
code), I implemented a transition-based dependency parser
with the oracles described in the paper. In subsequent work with
Agnieszka Falenska, Jonas Kuhn, and Wolfgang Seeker we extended
this parser to also handle sentence splitting (Björkelund et
al., 2016; download source
code).
