Hi, I'm Scott, an undergraduate in the College of Computing at Georgia Tech. I'm studying natural language understanding (nlu), artificial intelligence, operating systems, and the Japanese language. I'm a fourth year student planning to pursue a masters in the near future.
My research interests are on natural language systems, augmenting artificial intelligence into operating systems, machine learning, steganography, cryptography. I want to create systems that can learn useful things about their users right now I'm focusing on language as a largely unexplored area of interaction and knowledge inference.
Currently I'm researching speech recognition/nlu in the business conference room setting, I'm trying to find out as much knowledge as possible from generated spoken documents and then construct some usable ontology for question answering.
On a similar note, I am working on an ontology creation project, our goal is to create an algorithm capable of processing arbitrary amounts of domain-specified texts in order to extract keywords and to create relations for some ontology which can later be used for question answering and auto summarization.
I'm working on internship in Kyoto, Japan on Statistical Machine Translation research at NTT Communication Labs. Outside of NTT, I'm doing additional projects concerning: collocation extraction, rule based machine translation, and multi-engine machine translation.
Have you heard of Objective-C ? You don't even need a mac to enjoy it, check out GNUStep. The etoile project also has some interesting frameworks in development.
