Stergios Chatzikyriakidis

I am a Professor of Computational Linguistics at the University of Crete. I earned my BA in Greek Philology specializing in Linguistics from Aristotle University, Thessaloniki. I continued my studies obtaining an MSc in Computational Linguistics and Formal Grammar, and a PhD in Linguistics, both from King’s College, London. I have worked at Royal Holloway, University of London, the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), the Open University of Cyprus and the University of Gothenburg. From 2016 until 2021, I was the Associate Director of the Center for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP).

Research Interests

My research interests lie at the intersection of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Theoretical Linguistics.. My work spans Natural Language Inference, Dialogue Modelling, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-assisted LLM generation, Semantic Parsing, Sentiment Analysis, Metaphor Detection, Formal Semantics and Syntax, Interactive Theorem Proving for natural language semantics, Computational Dialectology, Constructive Type-Theoretical Semantics and their computational implementation, Probabilistic Semantics, developing NLP resources for under-resourced languages, and exploring the interaction between symbolic logic-based approaches and Machine Learning/Deep Learning methods for linguistic problems.

Other interests

I am also a novelist. I have published four novels (in Greek) and two short story collections (one in English). For these activities of mine, please visit this site
