NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING




Lars Barquist:  I'm a Rutgers College student majoring in Biomathematics with a minor in Cognitive Science. I am currently working on documentation and development of a natural language processing system. Currently my work focuses on documenting our existing codebase, bug fixes, and developing utilities to make the system easier to work with. Long term goal include developing data-mining and indexing utilities utilizing the system, as well as general improvement of the system's accuracy.  




Robert Greaux: I am senior at Rutgers College majoring in Psychology and minoring in Philosophy. I plan to attend medical school next year. I'm interested in neuroscience, the mind/brain relationship, and neuropsychopharmacology-specifically with respect to plant based and synthetic psychotropic/hallucinogenic compounds and their effects on human cognition. Language processing is a rather complex cognitive task and as a result we do not know how we understand language as well as we do. The goal is to produce a full working grammar of the English language that can be utilized in a parser to determine grammatical and ungrammatical sentences. Such an accomplishment can be further utilized in building better information retrieval systems for computer based searching of large bodies of stored knowledge.
