External Funding:

My research has been supported by a National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Library of Medicine RO1 grant 1R01LM009623-01A2 (September 2008 - September 2012). I was co-PI on this grant with Serguei Pakhomov (PI) ( RePORTER entry). This grant supported the development of UMLS::Similarity and UMLS::Interface and UMLS::SenseRelate and the enhancement of our server lab here at UMD. ( Project Site )
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.

Get caught up on the NLP at UMD group via our home page and our mailing list!
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 also making some of these available via the Machine Learning Open Source Software project and the Online Registry of Biomedical Informatics Tools.

View or Update the Registry of Latin America Researchers in NLP and CL

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!
