Projects

  • Minspeak Visual Language System for Chinese (Jan.2006 - present)
  • Design Chinese iconic Minspeak system. (more to come...)

  • Speech Act Classification on Emails (May.2005 - Jul.2005)
  • Classify emails into different speech act categories (such as Constative, Commissive, Directive and Acknowledgement) based on different features extracted by Lemur system and trained by SVM methods. It's the foundational step towards detecting people's roles in different communications.

  • Grad. Machine Learning Course Project (Jan.2005 - Apr.2005)
  • Implemented a phrase based joint probability model on Chinese-English translation (referred to A Phrase-Based, Joint Probability Model for Statistical Machine Translation by Marcu and Wong [pdf])
