This page is mainly for research dissemination, I guess. I am currently involved in the following research issues:

Processing Basque
Measures of relatedness/similarity among concepts
Word Sense Disambiguation using a combination of methods
Semantic Role Labeling using a combination of semantic resources
Domain adaptation of NLP tools and resources
Knowledge acquisition and ontology building
Applications of semantic processing to IR, CLIR and QA

Check my list of publications.
