Professor Bauer’s background is in Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics.

 

His research concentration is on syntactic and semantic parsing. His work combines machine learning techniques with linguistically inspired formal models of the relationship between text, syntax, and semantics. It focuses on learning such models automatically, as well as efficient algorithms for inferring good semantic interpretations. 

Bauer is also interested in language that is “grounded” in other modalities, such as formal knowledge bases, 3D scenes, and vision. He investigates how the relationship between language and the objects or concepts it refers to can be modeled and used in NLP systems.
