Research
My current research interests are related
to text classification and knowledge representation techniques for
medical/biomedical domain texts. I am interested in combining NLP techniques
with learning algorithms for various text related tasks.
Additional research interests involve
cross-language word sense disambiguation using Machine Learning techniques. I
worked on Cognates, False Friends, and Partial Cognates pair of words between
French and English. Identifying cognates and false friends and partial-cognate
disambiguation were my main topics of research.
I built a tool that uses part of the
research that I did for cognates and false friends. The tool is called CLPA
– Cross-Language Pair Annotation tool. It is a java free project designed
to annotate French texts with Cognates and False Friends between French and
English. More information and a snapshot of the tool’s GUI can be found here.
Multilingual text processing and
information extraction systems are also part of my research interests. I am a
developer member of the BALIE
project. My main contribution consists in adding the Romanian capabilities to
the project.
I am currently affiliated with the Text
Analysis and MAchine LEarning (TAMALE)
Group and a member of the Natural Language Processing (Cookie) Group the at University of Ottawa, Canada.
The TAMALE group holds weekly interesting
seminars. The schedule can be found here.
My supervisor is Dr. Diana Inkpen
