This is a home page for Jun Araki. I am currently working for the Language Technologies Institute (LTI) of the School of Computer Science (SCS) at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) as a research programmer/analyst. I gained acceptance to the Ph.D. program of the LTI, and will enroll in the program this August.
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?
- Ph.D. in Language and Information Technologies, Carnegie Mellon University, Since Aug. 2012 (Expected)
Specialization: TBD
- M.S. in Computer Science, Stanford University, Sept. 2009 to June 2011
Specialization: Artificial Intelligence
- M.Eng. in Electronic Engineering, The University of Tokyo, Apr. 2001 to Mar. 2003
