- CRL, NMSU
- I have been working at the Computing Research Laboratory at New Mexico State University since July 1994. I am responsible for developing the semantic analyzer for the Mikrokosmos machine translation project.
- Carnegie Mellon University, School of Computer Science
- I recently finished my Ph.D. in the Language and Information Technologies. program of the School of Computer Science. My Ph.D. dissertation is titled HUNTER-GATHERER: Applying Constraint Satisfaction, Solution Synthesis and Branch-and-Bound to Computational Semantics.
- Wycliffe Bible Translators
- I am a member of Wycliffe Bible Translators. I am working on a computer translation system that will enable the translation of the Old Testament for the many thousands of language groups who want, but do not have it.
- Mikrokosmos Semantic Analyzer
- Many exciting pages of documentation, papers, and even a tutorial of the Mikrokosmos Semantic Analyzer.
- Mikrokosmos Multilingual Text Generator
- Many exciting pages of documentation and papers about the Mikrokosmos generator.
- Mikrokosmos Ontology
- Many exciting pages of documentation, papers, sample concepts, and pictures from the Mikrokosmos Ontology, prepared by Kavi Mahesh.
- Publications
- A listing of my publications, with HTML and Postscript versions available.
- Mikrokosmos Publications.
- Publications from the Mikroksomos team covering the lexicon, ontology, analyzer, as well as theoretical background of our knowledge-based approach to machine translation.
I am the lead researcher for the Semantic Analyzer on the Mikrokosmos Machine Translation project. We are also beginning work on text planning. My central theoretical interest is creating efficient control architectures for computational semantics.
