Project	Work perfomed
Intellexer SDK	- R&D of Linguistic Processor for English: modules of tokenization (using finite-state methods), part-of-speech tagging (evaluating existing statistical methods, developed an extended method based on trigrams and second order Markov models), syntactical & semantic analysis (implemented formalism for developing grammars and dictionaries). - NER (named entity recognizer) - developing architecture of hybrid NER, R&D of the statistical recognizer based on HMMs using additional stats layers, developing formalism for writing rules for rule-based NER. - Document comparator module - knowledge unit extraction and algorithm for comparison of document images. - Question answering system - algorithms for query representation and matching of query and an answer. Presenting the system on TREC conference (see Publications section below). - Management of a team of programmers and linguists, planning research and development activity for the team.
