My thesis research involves finding semantic representations for phrases and short sentences where connective syntax is sparse and background knowledge is extremely important.  This work plays a role in semantic browsing of text  as well as semantic matching and browsing of non-textual objects that are associated with natural language labels.  I have also enjoyed working on knowledge base representation for non-expert users and on noun compound resolution.

I perform this work with Dr. Scott E. Fahlman, in the Scone Knowledge Representation Group at CMU.

I am also interested in Machine Translation (MT), and I spent one year as a Visiting Researcher at the University of Karlsruhe,  maintaining the shared CMU/UKA Arabic-English Statistical MT System.

Since September 2006 I have been pursuing my thesis work remotely from Tokyo, Japan, where I have had the opportunity to collaborate with the Tsujii Laboratory of the University of Tokyo on their GENIA project.

Please take a look at my publications and our knowledge-browsing tool, SconeEdit.  You may also download my curriculum vitae and my thesis proposal: “Knowledge-Based Labeling of Semantic Relationships in English”.
