My research interests relate to Machine
Learning applied to
Natural Language Processing. I graduated in Computer Science at the Technical University of Catalonia, 2001.
From 1999 to 2001, I participated in the European Masters Study in
Language and Speech. In 2001, I realized a 9 month internship at
the Panasonic Speech Technology Laboratory, in Santa Barbara,
California. Back home, in April 2002, I joined the NLP-group and started a Ph.D. in
Artificial Intelligence.
I started working as a research intern for the LC-STAR project
(IST-2001-32216), dealing with the generation of lexical resources for
Machine Translation.
From 2003 to 2007 I was granted by the
Spanish Ministry of Science (ALIADO project, TIC2002-04447-C02).
My work was mostly focused on the problem of
Empirical Machine
Translation and its Evaluation. I defended my Ph.D. thesis on
July 2, 2008. After that, I spent one and a half years working for
two different start-up companies, Semantix Group where I worked on the problem of (dictionary) Definition
Retrieval, and ExperienceOn Ventures where
I worked on the problem of domain-oriented Information Retrieval.
I combined these two jobs with a part-time collaboration as specialized research
assistant at UPC (OpenMT
project, TIN2006-15307-C03-02). Currently, I work full-time at UPC, as a post-doc
researcher, in the following projects:
