Research interests

My general research interests lie in the intersection between linguistics and computer science. Anything that has to do with the understanding of human languages and how this understanding can be used in practical computer applications strikes bells in my head. Research and projects that have taken all my attention at some point are:

Answer extraction

Until the end of October I was participating in ExtrAns, an answer extraction system. Relevant links are:

• A short description of ExtrAns and relevant papers.
• A longer description of ExtrAns, adapted to HTML from a publication in CLIP.
• A demo of the system (if you're lucky, the server is running when you try the demo!).

From Nov. 1999 my main research is focusing in an extension of ExtrAns, which is temporarily called WebExtrAns.

Tense and aspect

In particular, my PhD focused on a formal specification of a subset of the aspectual interactions between nouns and verbs. Relevant links are:

• Abstract.
• Source (gzipped PostScript format, 271K).
• References used during the PhD.
