Bram van Dijk has a background in social science and philosophy of science. His PhD-project aims to unravel mindreading in children by collecting and studying children’s fantasy stories with tools from the Natural Language Processing (NLP) field. In addition, he explores the potential of modern NLP-tools with respect to the intricacies of child speech with the story corpus currently in compilation.
