Summary

I am particularly interested in:

  • NLP at the sub-word level: letter-phoneme conversion, transliteration, orthography, morphology, word similarity, drug names
  • Cognates: identification, projection, applications, machine translation, bitext alignment, diachronic linguistics
  • Lexical Semantics: synonymy, polysemy, homonymy, translational equivalence, word sense disambiguation
  • Computational Cryptography: decoding unknown scripts, cipher language identification

Courses
