In April 2008 I have completed my PhD degree here at the National Centre for Language Technology at Dublin City University. Under the supervision of Prof. Andy Way and Prof. Josef van Genabith, I worked on automatic evaluation of Machine Translation with the use of LFG dependencies, automatic paraphrase generation from bilingual parallel corpora, and the use of these paraphrases in automatic MT evaluation. I also worked on a project called TransBooster, which is a support system for Machine Translation. In 2001 I received a master's degree in English philology from the School of English at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland. Afterwards, I studied at Eastern Michigan University, where I got my MA in Linguistics. While at EMU, I worked as an editor and web programmer for the LINGUIST List, the famous academic website devoted to linguistics. Then I started my PhD studies at the University of Texas at Austin, but after two years I transferred to Dublin to join the NCLT team. Currently I'm a guest researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD, where I'm working on applying automatic evaluation methods to machine summaries. When I look back on my early years, I remember my first encounters with a computer. It was my cousin's Atari with cassette-tape reader and black-and-white (or rather black-and-green) monitor. A little booklet was provided with it, which explained the basics of Basic :) I could sit for hours on end playing with it, getting it to print things on the screen, then print things backwards, then count the number of letters, then replace the letters with other letters... I was twelve. Who would've thought I'd end up doing this for a living? :) |
