Hans Uszkoreit is a German Computational Linguistic’s professor, who is giving classes in Saarland University right now.
He was born at the 23th of January 1950 (aged 59) in Rostock, Germany, and he studied both Linguistics and Computational Science at the Technical University of Berlin and the University of Texas. While he was studying, he also worked in a machine translation project at the Linguistics Research Centre and he even became a member of the Center for Study of Language and Information (Saarland University).
Uszkoreit also created the Department of Computational Linguistics and Phonetics and he became the head of the Language Technology Lab. He did many other important jobs in different places, and right now he’s not only a professor at Saarland University, but also the Scientific Director at the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence.
