As of June 2008 I am now a post-doc in the Cognitive Computation Group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
James Clarke is a PhD Student studying at The University of Edinburgh in the School of Informatics.
My current research lies within the field of Natural Language Processing where I am investigating techniques for automatic sentence compression. I also have an interest in Integer Programming and how it can be applied to a variety of NLP problems.
You can help us by participating in our Language Experiments.
