Abstract:

I have attended the four Computer Science Study Panel CSSP sessions, in April, June, July, and October 2007. I found the sessions to be highly interesting, both as a citizen and as a scientist. Because my research deals with information -- in particular, automated processing of language data like text and speech -- I saw the greatest connection with my research in the final session when we interact with the intelligence community. I also visited the National Security Agency in August. I gave an overview of my research there and spoke informally with various NSA personnel to learn more about NSAs interests in natural language technology, which I knew prior to this program to be quite strong.
