I moved to Microsoft Research in late 2003.  Before that, I was the head of a data mining department in AT&T Labs-Research (formally AT&T Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ).  I received my BS, Masters and PhD from MIT in computer science in 1978, 1980 and 1983, and immediately joined AT&T.  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 larger data sets such as telephone call detail (1-10 billion records per month).
