Iryna Gurevych is Full Professor and Director of the Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing (UKP) Lab in the Department of Computer Science at the Technische Universität Darmstadt. In addition, she leads the Graduate School Adaptive Information Preparation from Heterogeneous Sources (AIPHES). Within NLP, Iryna's research focus is on text understanding and lexical semantics, argumentation analysis, and novel applications of text analysis in social sciences and humanities. Iryna has led the development of UBY, a large-scale sense-linked lexicalsemantic resource for English and German. She has published on using this resource to enhance various natural language processing tasks, such as word sense disambiguation, text classification, or information search, and has done significant research on semantic relatedness and semantic similarity of words, short texts, or longer documents.
