CAREER OBJECTIVE    

     A programming or research position in the area of artificial 
intelligence with focus on natural language processing (NLP): 
language parsing, semantic interpretation of texts, knowledge-base design, 
text abstraction, text generation, machine translation, or other related 
fields such as information retrieval and expert systems.

EDUCATION  

      1988 -        Ph.D., (Expected Graduation Date: 1992)
                    Georgetown University, Washington, DC
                    Major -- Computational Linguistics
      1986 - 1988   M.A.,  University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho
                    Major -- Applied Linguistics 
      1980 - 1985   B.A.,  Shanghai Institute of Education,
                              Shanghai, China
                    Major -- Language Teaching 

DISSERTATION PROJECT

          An Instructional Machine Translation System
This system uses an ATN parser to get the structural description of
the source language (English) text.  This structure is then mapped
into a semantic representation (through sense discrimination, case
role mapping.. ), which is used as the input for the generation of the
target language (Chinese in this case).  The system employs some of
the strategies that are more often used in the area of artificial
intelligence such as semantic networks, knowledge bases, weighing
schemes.  This project is implemented in LISP, my major working
language.
