G'day.

I am a computational linguist working mainly with Chinese, English, Japanese, and Malay/Indonesian, although occasionally with Korean, Norwegian and many other languages.

I teach a course, Language, Technology and the Internet, as part of this students edit wikipedia with the goal of expandin their knowledge and sharing it with the world. On the way, they and I also learned a lot about how to present information and support arguments. The wikipedia page for the course is class project for HG252: Language, Technology and the Internet.

As part of my research, I try to make information, mainly about language, explicit enough that computers can use it. Ultimately, I would like to make the sum of all human knowledge also available to machines: I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords. Or at least I will when I have finished building them.
