July 2004 - January 2005:
MEANING -
Developing Multilingual Web-scale Language
Technologies: an EU 5th Framework project. In this project I worked on automatic lexical acquisition and word sense disambiguation.
July 2001 - June 2004:
The EPSRC funded project `Robust Accurate Statistical
Parsing' (RASP). The project involved integrating and extending
several strands of research on robust statistical parsing and
automated grammar and lexicon induction, to produce a new parsing
toolkit.
2000 - 2001:
PSET: Practical Simplification of English Text:. (EPSRC)
The project involved simplifying newspaper test for adults with
aphasia which impairs their comprehension of written language. I
worked on word sense disambiguation of nouns, verbs and adjectives
with view to using this before replacing words from these classes with
more common, or familiar synonyms.
1996-1998:
SPARKLE (Shallow
PARsing and Knowledge extraction for Language Engineering) project. This
project
involved developing shallow parsers alongside corpus based lexical
acquisition techniques
for use by other European partners in applications such as
Information Retrieval.
