About me
Hi! My name is Bram. I am a PhD researcher in natural language processing at Ghent University. My current research topic is translatability, that is, what makes a text difficult to translate, and how can we PreDicT and model those difficulties.
I am particularly interested in computational linguistics, NLP, and deep learning. I'm quite active in the open-source community, particularly on Stack Overflow
and specifically on HuggingFace's transformers
repository as a core contributor.
I have also created a spaCy extension to generate CoNLL output, which you can find below in the tools section.
Get in touch via LinkedIn or Twitter! You can find those links (and others) below.
Tools
- CoNLL plugin for spaCy
- Custom pipeline component for spaCy that retrieves CoNLL output
- XPath Beautifier for GrETEL
- Web-based tool to improve the readability of XPath code strings, especially those provided by the corpus query tool GrETEL
- HTML Tree Parser for Alpino
- Web-based tool to display syntactic XML trees such as those generated by the dependency parser Alpino, with CSS and HTML without the need of SVG
- GrETEL
- GrETEL, Greedy Extraction of Trees for Empirical Linguistics, is a tool for language users that allows you to look up syntactic phenomena in annotated corpora. I created a complete overhaul of the GrETEL interface and improved the search algorithm on the server side.
