Research

My area of research is Natural Language Processing (NLP), or, more broadly, Computational Linguistics.

I am particularly interested in: Click to expand

• character-level processing: letter-to-phoneme conversion, transliteration, syllabification, stress predicition
• identification of cognates -- words that are similar across different languages (e.g. English night and German nacht)
• applications of cognates in various areas of NLP, including language reconstruction, sentence and word alignment in bitexts, machine translation, and detecting confusable drug names
• computing word similarity (orthographic, phonetic, and semantic)
• applications of bioinformatics in NLP

Some media stories about my research.

We have a weekly NLP group seminar. Visitors are welcome.
