Research Interests
My research interests are in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Processing (NLP)
and Biometrics. Specifically, I am currently working on the following problems:
· Unsupervised Text Correction (including: real-word spelling error, prepostion error,
determiner error, near-synonym choice and so on)
· Lexical Semantics (including: semantic similarity of words, texts, and sentences)
· Word Segmentation
· Schema Matching
