Research
My area of research is Natural Language
Processing (NLP), or, more broadly, Computational Linguistics.
I am particularly interested in:
- NLP at the sub-word level: letter-phoneme conversion,
transliteration, orthography, morphology, word similarity, drug
names
- Cognates: identification, projection, applications, machine
translation, bitext alignment, diachronic linguistics
- Lexical Semantics: synonymy, polysemy, homonymy, translational
equivalence, word sense disambiguation
- Computational Cryptography: decoding unknown scripts, cipher
language identification
Some media stories about my research.
We have a weekly NLP group seminar. Visitors are welcome.
