User:Ffbond

G'day.

I am a computational linguist working mainly with Japanese and English, although occasionally with Korean, Chinese, Norwegian and Malay.

I currently teach and research at Nanyang Technological University, where I have a more complete homepage. I am using Wikipedia in a class project for HG252: Language, Technology and the Internet: the goal is for my students to both expand their knowledge and share it with the world. On the way, I expect that they will also learn a lot about how to present information and support arguments.

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.
