My name is Georgios Petasis, and these are my personal web pages. Currently, I am research associate at the Software and Knowledge Engineering Laboratory (since June 2006) of the Institute of Informatics and Telecommunications of N.C.S.R. "Demokritos" and an associate at the Systems Reliability and Industrial Safety Laboratory (since November 2003) of the Institute of Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection of N.C.S.R. "Demokritos", Athens, Greece. Previously, I have been a research associate at the Software and Knowledge Engineering Laboratory (November 1998 - August 2003) of the Institute of Informatics and Telecommunications of N.C.S.R. "Demokritos", Athens, Greece.

[My Photo]My research interests mainly include the areas of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning. My current work focuses on the following issues:

  • The construction of Named-Entity Recognition Systems based on machine learning techniques that are able to easily adapt to various domains or languages.

  • The development of Grammatical Inference (GI) algorithms.

  • The automated construction of lexical resources, such as morphological lexicons, part of speech taggers, gazetteer look-up lexicons, etc.

  • The design and development of generic frameworks for Language Engineering. Parts of this work can be found in the "Ellogon Language Engineering Platform".

In the links below you will find more information about me (CV, publications) and my work regarding NLP, GI, Ellogon and Tcl/Tk.
