My name is Michal Ptaszynski, I work as an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science, Kitami Institute of Technology, Kitami, Japan.

I am engaged in a number of projects, including the development of affect analysis tools for Japanese, detection of cyberbullying entries on the Intenet, collecting and annotating a (very) large corpus of Japanese blogs, constructing a sentence pattern extraction architecture, developing an emotionally aware language model, developing a dialogue agent that understands and aptly responds to user emotions, or developing linguistic analysis tools for low resource languages, such as Ainu language.

My research interests overlap Natural Language Processing (NLP), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Click here to see all of my research interests.
