rom 1998 to 2005, I worked in machine translation (MT) research at the Language Technologies Institute (LTI) in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).
My responsibilities focused primarily on two tasks. I provided support for MT system analysis of various languages, including English, Spanish, Catalan, Egyptian Arabic, and Thai. I also helped develop an interlingua that CMU and its research partners used in MT systems for the analysis and generation of English, Spanish, Catalan, Italian, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Egyptian Arabic, and Thai.
I began working for the LTI as a student in 1998 and earned my master's degree in Language and Information Technologies from CMU in 2000. After graduation I continued to work for the LTI in a research group called Interactive Systems Labs, now interACT. Major projects included FAME, NESPOLE, LASER/Babylon, LingWear, and C-STAR,.
