Welcome
Welcome on my homepage!, I am Rob van der Goot, and am currently working as an associate professor at the IT University of Copenhagen
Research interests
My main research interest is robustness in natural language processing. This includes the processing of non-standard language varieties, low-resource languages and any setting were only little training data is available. My expertise is mostly on syntactic tasks.
