Ph.D. Research
(Jointly tutored by Toni Badia and by Enric Vallduví, Pompeu Fabra University).
Development of an Information Extraction application designed to process technical texts as enormous dictionaries by parsing metalinguistic segments where information is offered about the rules or the units of a technical sublanguage. Such information extraction generates Metalinguistic Information Database with computationally-tractable data that can be useful not only for lexicography and terminology, but also for AI systems that need unorthodox information not readily available in existing semantic networks, lexicons or traditional ontologies. http://www.tdx.cesca.es/TDX-0228105-114717/

research Interests:


My activities and interests in research are attested by my academic publications, as well as by projects I have been involved with, both past and present. I also have teaching experience in the fields of Computational Linguistics and Language Engineering.
My graduate research has focused lately on lexical acquisition, development of a novel metalinguistic information extraction system useful for terminology and the study of scientific discourse. This system was based on an extensive, marked-up corpus of definition-like sentences, as well as other technical corpora from various sources, and used collocations, machine-learning and Information Extraction techniques. You can see a demo at www.iling.unam.mx/crodri/cdrom/. I am interested in expanding on this work and developing other IE techniques, for example for tracking elected officials and government programs mentioned on the daily press.
I am also seeking funding for a project (in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University and Brandeis University as U.S. based partners) to implement automatic indigenous language identification technologies for assisting health and immigration authorities at processing monolingual speakers in the U.S. We plan to create the technology infrastructure for an Indigenous Language Spoken Corpora Repository to train the identifying algorithms.
I am interested in developing an Information Extraction module for teaching the field?s techniques using the Natural Language ToolKit. One of my enduring interests is developing Open Source tools for teaching Computational Linguistics in a manner accessible both to Linguistics and to Computer Science students. You can find a small demo of a tool to teach statistical language models at www.iling.unam.mx/crodri/gens/.
As you can see, an important part of my interests is to exploit theoretical and technological advancements to create usable, socially-relevant applications that will help the citizen improve its quality of live and empower him in some aspect of his/her life. I basically work with Python, Perl, HTML and XML, among other languages and standards, to develop Information Extraction and Lexicography tools. I have experience with Web Technologies, Translation Memories, software localization, terminology management, Knowledge Engineering and Desktop Publishing applications. I am very technically-minded, and an avid follower of state of the art in technology.
