Stefan Riezler is full professor at the Department of Computational Linguistics at Heidelberg University, Germany, since 2010, and also co-opted in Informatics at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. He received his Ph.D. (with distinction) in Computational Linguistics from the University of Tübingen in 1998, conducted post-doctoral work at Brown University in 1999, and spent a decade in industry research (Xerox PARC, Google Research). His research focus is on interactive machine learning for natural language processing problems, especially for the application areas of cross-lingual information retrieval and statistical machine translation. He is engaged as editorial board member of the main journals of the field--Computational Linguistics and Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics--and is a regular member of the program committee of various natural language processing and machine learning conferences. He has published more than 100 journal and conference papers in these areas. He also conducts interdisciplinary research as member of the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR), for example, on the topic of early prediction of sepsis using machine learning and natural language processing techniques.
