Biography

Dr. Scientific Researcher II – RACAI

Research activities:
– ACCURAT (www.accurat-project.eu): I developed an EM algorithm for document alignment and a parallel sentence mining algorithm
– SIR-RESDEC: I contributed to the development of an open-domain QA system answering Romanian natural language questions from JRC-Acquis corpus
– BalkaNet: my task was to check the inter-lingual semantic alignments between synsets of the Princeton English WordNet and the Romanian WordNet that was developed in the project. This experiment formed the basis on one of the algorithms described in my PhD thesis.
– MetaNet4U (http://metanet4u.eu/): tested/validated a multitude of NLP tools (POS taggers, tokenizers, etc.) and resources (annotated corpora, wordnets, etc.) so that they comply with the project’s requirements of interoperability and standards compliance. MetaShare (http://metanet4u.eu/metashare.html) is the portal where all these resources and tools have been uploaded. RACAI’s node is administered by me.
