Bio
I studied for a BEng in Software Engineering at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and for an MA in Linguistics at the University of East Anglia. During my undergraduate degree I did an internship at Hewlett Packard working on high-performance file systems (see Lustre). My undergraduate dissertation covered the automatic identification of language from raw text, and my masters dissertation covered the automatic evaluation of machine translation. I'm aiming to do a PhD in the area of automating building machine translation systems for closely related lesser-used languages.
