Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTorbjörn Lager is a Professor Emeritus of General and Computational Linguistics at the University of Gothenburg with over a decade of hands-on experience building research prototypes in corpus tools, machine learning, and multimodal dialogue systems. Trained as a linguist with a PhD in computational linguistics, he bridges technical engineering and humanities perspectives—most recently exploring the Web as both a technical artifact and social phenomenon. He has 15 years of web-related programming experience, taught Spoken Web technologies (VoiceXML, SRGS, SSML) and served as an invited expert in the W3C Voice Browser Working Group, contributing to SCXML specification work. Comfortable with logic and logic programming, he naturally extends that expertise into Semantic Web research, while his background in philosophy shapes his interest in the Philosophy of the Web and interdisciplinary interactions between technology, science, and the humanities.
