Hi,
I am an information scientist at UC
Data Archive & Technical Assistance, University of California, Berkeley
 I am co-PI on a grant “Context and Relationships: Ireland and
Irish Studies” from National Endowment for Humanities and Institute
for Museum and Library Services (Oct 2007-Sept 2009). The UC Berkeley press release about the
project can be found here 15 November, 2007 - UC Berkeley NewsCenter.
During the summer of 2007 I was a visiting researcher in
Tokyo at the National Institute of
Informatics
working on the creation of a bilingual Japanese-English technical lexicon
(dictionary) from the NTCIR scientific text collections, NTCIR-1 and NTCIR-2. My final presentation may be found here. A paper on the
project will be presented at the Language
Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC
2008) in
Morocco
in late May 2008. The lexicon can be
found here.
