Dear all,
I am looking for a postdoctoral position in Boston area. I have recently
completed a doctorate degree in Computer Science at the George Washington
University (GWU). My dissertation is entitled "Enhanced English-Arabic Cross
Language Information Retrieval".
My dissertation analyses different approaches used to deal with problems
related to word-by-word translation using online dictionaries. I studied the
different approaches used to enhance the effectiveness of Cross Lingual
Information Retrieval (CLIR) systems. I designed and improved an
English-Arabic CLIR system and implemented a novel transliteration model to
find Arabic equivalents of English words that are deemed to be hard to
translate or not have a counterpart in other languages such as proper names.
Furthermore, I did a comparative analysis of this transliteration approach to
an existing statistical transliteration model. Finally, I tested and enhanced
query expansion using WordNet.
In addition to the aforementioned research activity, I gained a broad view of
the field of Computer Science by participating in large scale projects in the
area of software engineering and compilers. My work was fully funded by various
organizations and got raving reviews for both my professional as well as
personal conduct.
If anyone know of any open positions, I will appreciate if you refer me or let
me know. I will gradly provide my resume and any additional information upon
request.
Regards,
Ghita Amor
