| 2001-2003 | During my Master's studies at University of Toronto, under the supervision of Prof. Gerald Penn, I worked on improvement of parsing times for unification-based grammars by means of indexing. In particular, my research was focused on indexing methods designed for efficient parsing in the context of typed-feature structure grammars. My Master's Thesis proposes a theoretical investigation of feature structures which, combined with indexing methods used in database systems, contributes to the development of efficient parsers. |
| 2000-2001 | As a continuation of my master thesis at "Politehnica" University of Timisoara, my work was focused on the development of a description language for dialog modeling and management purposes. |
| 1998-2000 |
During the work for my graduation project, I built
MDWOZ, a development environment for dialog
systems. MDWOZ was designed as a tool, easy to use
even by non-computing specialists, for data
acquisition (speech signal and dialog related
information), interaction models building and
knowledge base implementation.
My master thesis ("Human-Computer Dialog Modeling and Management") used the same development environment. After different improvements, a simulated dialog system was designed with the help of MDWOZ. During the experiments with this system, the interaction model (initially built off-line) was refined, various dialog aspects were studied, and dialog-related data were gathered. Based on these, a dialog description language was defined. |

I worked as a research assistant for several projects,
