Dr. Joy Zhang is currently a research assistant professor at Carnegie Melon University's Silicon Valley campus.
He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Language Technologies Institute, School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University in 2008.
Research Area:
Statistical Machine Translation (SMT)
Statistical machine translation systems use statistical models to learn how one language is translated into anther. Such models are built from large amount of translation examples. The models are language independent, which means we can develop a SMT system for a new language pair as long as we can find enough bilingual data for training.
- Online translation for Chinese English travel conversation;
- All about the Student's t-test;
- Bootstrapping for NIST/Bleu: measuring the confidence limit and statistical significance for automatic machine translation evaluation metrics;
- Chinese word segmentation evaluation kit;
- Chinese word segmenter;
- SALM: A Toolkit of Empirical Natural Language Processing using Suffix Array (including the Suffix Array Language Model).
Currently, I am working on conversational machine translation system, such as the universal translation system for Second Life
