I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Language Science and Technology at Saarland University and President of the ACL Special Interest Group on Language Technologies for the Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities (SIGHUM). My research interests lie in text mining and data analytics for research questions within the Digital Humanities, in particular from sociolinguistics, register/language variation as well as change in language use. My recent focus has been on modeling variation and change in language use considering linguistic as well as other possible variables that might be at play by using probabilistic models.
