Jun Araki

This is a home page for Jun Araki. I am currently pursing a Master's degree in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University. I am a graduate research assistant in the Computational Semantics Laboratory at the Center for the Study of Language and Information at Stanford University.

Research Interests

My research interests are in computational semantics and statistical natural language processing. My general research questions are as follows:

How can we make computers construct general-purpose semantic resources automatically from text for the purpose 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, and question answering?
