Projects:
ˇ Member of the
Government-sponsored Digital Libraries Project, creating the
technology to make the latest
medical advances be immediately available to
doctors’ inquiries (September
2000 – Present; full-time since June 2001)
·
Compile and maintain an XML-based corpus of medical texts
· Create heavy-weight text
processing tools and utilities
· Write
scripts to maintain project-specific information and evaluate system performance
·
Integrate components made by individual groups into a single system
· Support, debug and expand
pre-existing code
· http://www.cs.columbia.edu/diglib/PERSIVAL/
ˇ Member of the SDARTS
project, ‘wrapping’ different on-line and off-line data sources
to be accessible via a common
interface (February 2001 – Present)
· Develop the Java back end, which formats data, supports
communication, and executes queries
·
Create a web-based front end using Java Servlets, which dynamically
finds out the capabilities of
any
given back end and presents the user with an interface to test and use the
available features
·
Write documentation for both the end users and the future developers
· Support, debug, test and
expand pre-existing code
· http://sdarts.cs.columbia.edu/
ˇ
Member
of the TIDES project, developing a practical, multilingual and multidocument
information tracking and
summarization system (full-time since June 2001)
· Combine a web crawler with several natural language processing
tools to automatically
produce a
website with daily summaries of the latest news
(http://www.cs.columbia.edu/nlp/newsblaster)
· Make the summarizer be commercially available by communicating
with potential
customers
to design and implement a common protocol, through which text can be sent
to the
server and the resulting summaries can be sent back to the client
· Evaluate system performance and perform regular maintenance
· Debug and expand pre-existing code
· http://www.cs.columbia.edu/nlp/projects.html
Independent Research:
The minimax algorithm for two-player games with no element of chance:
apha-beta cutoff,
transposition table, move ordering, iterative deepening, zero window
searches;
implementation and comparison of various algorithms in a game of
checkers with
Windows
GUI. (http://www.angelfire.com/games3/russiancheckers)
