Welcome to my home page. My name is
Nizar Habash (pronounced n'zár habásh).
I am an Associate Research Scientist at the Center for Computational Learning
systems in Columbia University. My
area of interest is computational linguistics/natural language processing.
Specifically, I work on natural language generation, machine translation,
computational lexical semantics, Arabic dialect modeling, among other things.
(translation: I get machines to do cool stuff with language such as
translating from Arabic or Spanish to English).
I am also an amateur artist. My website
contains some of my art work.
One of my favorite projects is my artificial language Delason.
It took seven years in the making. My current large project is Palisra, a collection of pieces reflecting my views on
the Middle East conflict.
Please let me know what you think about
my home page by signing my guestbook. Also, do not hesitate to ask questions
about any of the projects presented here. I will always return your mail. My
email address is Nizar@NizarHabash.com.
Thank you!
