I am one of the technology track leaders of WP3 and team leader of the CLARIAH team at Radboud University, Nijmegen. I am professor of Language, Communication and Computation at the faculty of Humanities at Universiteit Utrecht. In my research I develop machine learning and language technology. Most of my work involves the intersection of the two fields: computers that learn to understand and generate natural language. Specific interests include memory-based learning, language modelling, the relation between written and spoken language, text mining, the Dutch language, computational humanities, and cultural heritage.

Aside from my activities in CLARIAH, I participate in the NWO research infrastructure project Nederlab (

), the NWO ‘gravity’ project Language in Interaction (

), the NWO Creative Industry project Discosumo (

), and several other research projects - see my personal webpage for more information.

Richard L. Zijdeman obtained his PhD at the 

Interuniversity Center for Social Science Theory and Methodology

(ICS), Utrecht University in 2010. His main research focuses on social stratification structures and how and why people are moving across these structures (mobility / status attainment). He thereby focuses specifically on the issue of how technological changes (e.g. industrialization, internet, means of transportation) facilitate opportunities or raise barriers for such movements. Currently the focus of his research is on gender segregation and female labour force participation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

In his research, Zijdeman uses quantitative sources with occupational data: mainly digitalized personal records such as marriage records, as well as digitalized register data, such as censuses. In order to understand the influence of technological change he also uses detailed regional data on technological innovations.

Zijdeman is a (part-time) postdoctoral fellow at the 

at the International Institute of Social History. He is also an Honorary Research Fellow at the Department of Applied Social Science of the University of Stirling and co-founder of the international academic collaboratory 

. He is involved in several research projects, e.g. the project "

" at Utrecht University to work on issues of household formation and marriage patterns.
