ACCEPT: Perspectivized Argument Knowledge Graphs for Deliberation Support (2021 – 2024)

Joint project between Prof. Anette Frank (ICL, Heidelberg University) and Prof. Philipp Cimiano (University of Bielefeld) within the DFG priority program RATIO: Robust Argumentation Machines

ExpLAIN: Between the Lines – Knowledge-based Analysis of Argumentation in a formal Argumentation Inference System (2018 – 2021)

Joint project between Prof. Anette Frank (ICL, Heidelberg University) and Prof. Heiner Stuckenschmidt (University of Mannheim) within the DFG priority program RATIO: Robust Argumentation Machines

The project will uncover missing explanatory links in argumentative texts, fill in automatically acquired knowledge that makes the structure of the argument explicit and establish and verify the knowledge-enhanced argumentation structure with a combination of formal reasoning and machine learning.

The Role of Context in Language Processing (2011 – 2012)

A new cooperation project between the Department of Computational Linguistics at Heidelberg University and the Department of Computing at Macquarie University, Australia. The project is funded by the Global Networks Project of the Excellence Initiative of Heidelberg University.

Coordination: Anette Frank (Heidelberg University) and Mark Johnson (Macquarie University)

This project aims to combine methods and insights from Computational Linguistics and Psycholinguistics. The focus is on modeling the role of linguistic and extra-linguistic context in (incremental) language processing, as key factors to support the efficiency of human language processing and acquisition. The Global Networks funding supports bi-lateral travels and PhD student exchange in the years 2011 and 2012.

Ontology Modeling for Ritual Structure Research (2009 – 2013)

A project funded within the Sonderforschungsbereich SFB 619: "Ritual Dynamics"

Joint project of

• Prof. Dr. Anette Frank, Department of Computational Linguistics
• Prof. Dr. Axel Michaels, South-Asia Institute, Department of Classical Indology, University of Heidelberg

The project will uncover missing explanatory links in argumentative texts, fill in automatically acquired knowledge that makes the structure of the argument explicit and establish and verify the knowledge-enhanced argumentation structure with a combination of formal reasoning and machine learning.
