Research Associate III
I am a research staff member and work at the Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science. I work on Spanish and English language knowledge resources for various Natural Language applications. I write grammars, lexicons, morhology and semantic representations for Machine Translation systems, Computer Assisted Language Instruction programs and Information Extraction. I currently work on meeting scheduling and temporal expression extraction and anchoring for RADAR. I also work on data tagging for the Avenue Project.
I am currently a Master's student (the last one) in CMU's MCALL program. My main CALL interests are in the areas of computer assisted reading and literacy.
Personal Statement
I
am committed that each person can read in the language of the culture
or community in which he or she lives, works and functions.
It is the obligation of every nation, every community, every family, every
workplace and every individual to see that each and every person can read.
It is a human right and an individual responsibility for everyone to pursue
their own literacy.
