I moved to Microsoft Research in late 2003.  Before that, I was the head of a data mining department in AT&T Labs-Research.  I received my BS, Masters and PhD from MIT in computer science in 1978, 1980 and 1983, and immediately joined AT&T Bell Labs, where I have been ever since (though the name of the organization has changed).  I have worked in many areas of computational linguistics including: acoustics, speech recognition, speech synthesis, OCR, phonetics, phonology, morphology, word-sense disambiguation, spelling correction, terminology, translation, lexicography, information retrieval, compression, language modeling and text analysis. I enjoy working with very large corpora such as the Associated Press newswire (1 million words per week) and larger datasets such as telephone call detail (1-10 billion records per month).
