Jun Araki
This is a home page for Jun Araki. I am currently working for the Language Technologies Institute of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University as a research programmer/analyst.
Research Interests
My research interests are in computational semantics, statistical natural language processing, and knowledge representation and reasoning. My general research questions are as follows:
- How can we make computers construct general-purpose and domain-specific semantic resources automatically from natural language sources with the aim of semantically effective natural language processing?
- How can we make computers utilize these resources in concrete natural language processing tasks such as information retrieval, machine translation, dialog management, and question answering?
