Aside from research interests in computational semantics and language technology, his recent activities include applications of these technologies in the language sciences, in the industry and in the humanities, with notable results such as the first syntactic parser for medieval German (Middle High German, 2018), the publication of the first machine-generated science book (2019: Lithium-Ion Batteries. A Machine-Generated Summary of Current Research, Springer, Cham), and the first machine translation system for Sumerian cuneiform (2020).
