Applications of Natural Language Processing: Although the language and security applications for NLP are obvious, the analytic techniques used in Natural Language Processing also have unexpected applications to projects that at first do not seem to involve a language or linguistics. We invite you to center-jobscs [dot] columbia [dot] edu (contact us) to learn about our work in more detail or to discuss your challenges. All our research is open to the public and we are always interested in considering new challenges. Our team is already thinking about ways to apply their work to Spanish, Chinese, and other languages.

Francesco Calabrò, Chief Technology Officer/ Capability Manager of Selex ES, a subsidiary of Finmeccanica, Italy's second largest conglomorate, will join CCLS beginning in May for an extended 2 year assignment managing our joint Micro and Smart Electric Grid efforts. I am customer service-oriented, and accustomed to dealing with clients' needs."

David L. Waltz (1943-2012), was director, Center for Computational Learning Systems In 1973, Dave Waltz with Richard P. Gabriel in tow headed Dave Waltz delivers his AAAI Presidential Address at AAAI-98 in Madison, Wisconsin. While at Illinois, Dave produced system, paving the way for an engineering-style 11 Ph.D. students and many more MS students, approach to emergent AI techniques; and even mentored junior researchers and postdocs, attracted though their first attempts to create a multidisciplinary new AI faculty, and helped create the Beckman AI degree program failed, Dave was able in Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. In 1984, Marvin Minsky asked Dave to return to During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Waltz's Thinking Machines, Inc., an MIT spinoff in Cambridge group explored new ideas in natural language processing, -- with the temptation that the atmosphere cognitive science, qualitative reasoning, would be like the early days of the AI Lab all over and parallel computation in a collaborative environment again. At the same time he took a parttime including researchers in computer science, tenured position at Brandeis. Machines and Brandeis, Dave developed the ideas He chaired and brought the influential of massively parallel AI and, with Craig Stanfill, the Theoretical Issues in Natural Language Processing memory-based reasoning approach to case-based conference to Urbana in 1978.
