I am a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Minnesota in Duluth . I am also a Principal Investigator and Associate Fellow at the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute.

Please read this guide if you are a graduate student in Computer Science doing your thesis research with me (or would like to). (Updated September 9, 2009)

....... Research ....... Publications ....... Software ....... Teaching .......

My research is currently supported by a National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Library of Medicine RO1 grant 1R01LM009623-01A2 (September 2008 - September 2011). I am co-PI on this grant with Serguei Pakomov (PI). ( CRISP entry.) This grant is supporting the development of UMLS-Similarity and the enhancement of our server lab here at UMD.
My research has previously been supported by a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award #0092784 (March 2001 - February 2007). This grant fully supported the development of SenseClusters, and partially supported the development of WordNet::Similarity, the Ngram Statistics Package, and WordNet::SenseRelate. It also funded a server lab here at UMD.

I have had the good fortune to work with some great students. Eight of them have moved on to PhD programs.
We have various open source software projects available on SourceForge and CPAN. We are making some of these available via the Machine Learning Open Source Software project.

The README and source code for the registry are available if you would like to set up your own registry.
There is now a Google Group for discussion of issues relating to research in NLP and CL in Latin America. Anyone is welcome to join!
