Department, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology, Thonburi (Thailand)
1997-2002 Professor and Chair, Computer Science, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON
Since assuming
the Chair of Computer Science, we have added 28 bright new faculty members
(from 1993-1997 Computer Science was unable to hire any new faculty). In
addition new interdisciplinary programs have begun, including bioinformatics,
healthcare informatics, digital media, and software engineering. I am most
proud of the software engineering new degree program, which is administered
jointly by Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering. By putting
the good of the students above all other concerns, Waterloo was able to join
forces with the two most dynamic departments on campus despite belonging to different
Faculties. Fund raising has been a big part of this position and we have worked
hard on the Nortel, Bell, Bank of Nova Scotia, QNX, etc., who have benefited
both Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Waterloo.
1997- Adjunct Professor, Computer Science Department, University of Regina, Regina, SK.
1997-1997 Professor, Computer Science Department, University of Regina SK.
1993-1997 Associate Vice-President Research & Dean
of Graduate Studies, Univ. of Regina, Regina, SK. also International
Liaison Officer and Technology Transfer Officer
In charge of
three portfolios in Regina, each one was improved, reflected my particular
biases. In four years 22 new international agreements were signed with foreign
organizations, primarily universities and governments. Student exchanges
flourished, especially from Asian and African students. The amount of grant
funding nearly tripled at the University in four years, and in two of those
years the University of Regina led the nation in the percentage increase of
NSERC grants. I initiated the Center for Advanced Systems (CAS) and wrote a
major installation proposal to NSERC that was funded to initiate the CAS as a
reality. During that same period, nine new graduate programs were started,
including six interdisciplinary programs, e.g., the new masters in manufacturing
which combined expertise from the Engineering Faculty, Computer Science
Department and the Faculty of Administration. Internal funding programs to seed
projects were started and a special graduate student conference became a yearly
event with Proceedings published.
1988-1995 Associate Member, Linguistics, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC
1987-1992 Director, Centre for Systems Science, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC
As the initial
Director of the Centre for Systems Science (CSS), with an annual budget of
$3.2M, I developed the CSS infrastructure, programs, staff, and computing
network support group into a successful broadly based research infrastructure
for advanced systems research. The CSS applied its funds judiciously to
leverage $25M in new funds into Simon Fraser researcher’s projects in a
five-year period. By 1992 the CSS had 120 faculty members from five Faculties,
focussed on interdisciplinary research in three broad areas: microelectronics,
intelligent systems, and computing. Under my tutelage, the CSS helped to
initiate the micromachining laboratory and the optical characterization
laboratory at SFU. The CSS Scholarships were highly visible, as were the
strategic initiative grants. The CSS also created 12 new faculty positions, six
each in Engineering and Computer Science. The CSS provided computer
infrastructure services to over 120 faculty and 200 graduate students. As
Director, I was SFU’s representative to the BC Advanced Systems Institute (for
whom I wrote their initial proposal). Although the CSS was established with
Engineering and Science in mind, the entire University benefited from the
breadth of programs and the quality of adjudication of internal fund programs.
1986-1987 Visiting Professor, University of Victoria British Columbia.
I spent one
year visiting Computer Science at the University of Victoria at the request of
Eric Manning, the new Dean of Engineering. Eric had requested that I help him
to establish the Laboratory for Automation, Communication and Information
Research (LACIR) and the move of Computer Science into Engineering. I wrote
several proposals for UVictoria to help accomplish these items.
1985-1995 Professor, Computing Science, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC.
1980-1985 Associate Professor & Chair, Computing
Science, Simon Fraser Univ., Burnaby, B C.
During this
term as Chair, I helped to evolve the Computer Science Program into the School of Computing Science. We increased the School to 28 faculty from 7 faculty and also
the overall personnel to 42 people (from 18). We developed a strong program in
digital systems design at this time in computing science. Together with Gord
McCalla, we initiated and edit the international journal Computational
Intelligence, initially published by the National Research Council of Canada
(NRCC) and now by Blackwell’s, Publisher. I began to take on national roles, as
president of the Canadian Artificial Intelligence Society (CSCSI/SCEIO) and as
president of the Canadian Society for 5th Generation Research.
1980-1980 Visiting Associate Professor, Math &
Computing, Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst., Troy, N.Y.
I was selected
to chair computing science in 1980 and took a leave for one semester to develop
a long-range plan for the department. I visited Rensselaer and helped them to
develop a graduate program, taught engineers programming, and helped Rensselaer to develop their curriculum.
1976-1980 Assistant Professor, Computing Science, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC.
I became the
fifth faculty member in the then new computer science program at Simon Fraser.
Initially I taught six courses per year and developed the curriculum. In my
second year I developed the graduate program, both the masters and doctoral
proposals.
1975-1976 Assistant Professor, Math & Computer
Science, Old Dominion Univ., Norfolk, VA.
Old Dominion
hired its initial five computer scientists in 1975 with students entering their
4th year and expecting computer science degrees. The new faculty, myself
included, set about to revising the curriculum in the month before Fall classes
began in order to maximize the academic program of the existing students. I was
called upon to design curriculum and teach new courses for new Computer Science
program. I initiated a reading room and a technical reports series.
1972-1975 Ph.D. Student & Instructor, Computing
Science, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB.
Granted
another study leave from IBM to pursue a Ph.D. in computing science, I enrolled
primarily as a Ph.D. student at the University of Alberta and taught data
structures courses.
1971-1972 Instructor, Systems Development, IBM
Corporation, Poughkeepsie, New York.
Returning to
IBM after a two year’s leave of absence to pursue my masters, I was reassigned
to IBM education and taught and developed File and Data structures courses
including Job Control Language (JCL), Internal Operating System (OS) Logic,
logic design, etc. Typically IBM Systems engineers took these courses. From
time to time I was sent to Burlington, Vermont to teach specialized design
courses to IBM circuit designers (prior to VLSI technology).
1970-1971 Lecturer, Computer & Information
Science, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH.
After completing
my masters in computer and information science, with nearly a year remaining on
my two year IBM leave of absence, I was asked and taught and developed upper
level undergraduate systems and programming courses, including operating
systems and systems programming, for the Ohio State University. At the same
time I was employed half time in the Ohio State University Computer Center and was responsible for consulting services to other University customers,
e.g., agricultural engineers would seek my advice on program requirements and
documentation.
1969-1970 Programmer, Systems Development, IBM
Corporation, Poughkeepsie, New York.
After spending
3 months in IBM programmer training, I wrote design automation programs for
IBM’s Engineering Information Systems (EIS) Project for nearly one year. This
project employed 145 programmers and designers and I worked on it for the third
of its six years lifetime. I distinguished myself by becoming the first
programmer to successfully navigate all seven EIS subsystems, which were
constantly under revision, thus illustrating “proof of concept” to the chief
designer and his design team. I was responsible for implementing the dependency
selection section of the system, which permitted IBM computer engineers to
specialize versions of the IBM System 360-model xx for particular requirements
for individual customers.
1965-1968 Junior Designer, Peter F. Loftus
Consulting Engineers, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Each summer
for four months I returned to Peter Loftus to work as a junior designer
(internship). Essentially I was a draftsman and drew design layouts for
structural steel fabrication, mechanical piping layouts, concrete and asphalt
designs for buildings, and electrical layouts. Although my drawings were
checked by a senior design engineer, I was encouraged to test designs of my own
from time to time, e.g., I designed a brake for an elevator for a 28 story
building to stop the elevator in the event of a free fall. [My design was
significantly modified before putting it into use]. I enjoyed this work and got
on well with the resident architects and engineers, especially my supervisor,
Red Rohrs.
Note: Throughout my career, research engagement and
research supervision have played an important role. I have produced over 300
refereed publications, graduated over 60 graduate students under my direct
supervision, including 16 Ph.D. students, and have been involved on numerous
national and international program committees as chair, member, steering
committee member, etc. The most recent projects for which I have been involved
as research director are listed below; all of them have involved significant
industrial participation. Work of these projects have been supported by over
$15M of research grant or research contract funding. I have consulted to Boeing
Corporation, Open Text Corporation, Showbase Media, Rogers Cablesystems, SaskTel,
Knowledge-Junction Systems Inc., Glaxo-Wellcome Inc. and others.
Professionally
I have also held positions of influence on NSERC committees (often as a site
visit chair) including grant selection committees. I served twice on the
Steacie committee, CFI & CRC committees, NRCC articulation committees, the
Genome Assessment of Technology Committee, the CANARIE Board, theme coordinator
and project leader of the IRIS NCE, various United States NSF Committees, and
so on. I have become involved in numerous national and international
activities, serve on half a dozen editorial boards, and have served on numerous
Provincial and Federal committees. Most fondly, I think of myself as a teacher
and faculty member at Dalhousie University.

Research and Teaching Interests
Artificial Intelligence (including automated natural language
understanding, computational linguistics, and knowledge representation);
Knowledge-Based Systems (including knowledge discovery, data analysis and data
mining), Human-Machine Interfaces (including natural language and multimedia
interfaces)
Research Projects
My primary research objectives
include: (1) learning, knowledge discovery (KDD), data mining and analysis, and
KDD visualization, and (2) design and implementations of natural language (NL)
and multimodal interfaces to databases and information systems. Secondary
research objectives include: (1) developing formal representations for
automated NL understanding (NLU); (2) classification and rule induction from
large datasets; (3) machine translation architectures using HPSGs; (4) natural
language access to internet search engines; (5) inferential modeling for
knowledge-based systems; and (6) automatic generation of coherent NL discourse.
SYSTEMX, our prototype
natural language interface (English to SQL translator) to relational databases
resulted in several state-of-the-art advances. These advances include design
and implementation of an HPSG parser for multiple domains, inheritance
reasoning for HPSG, learning of semantic & syntactic information through
dialog, computing & utilizing correct navigation (join path) information
during interface usage, and portability. We stimulate “technology transfer”
with Rogers Cablesystems Ltd. (customer service), Environment Canada
(information holdings), SaskTel (marketing) and NSERC (grants information
database). We applied SYSTEMX technology in cooperation with Sask Health; this
collaboration resulted in the HERMES database interface to a simulated Sask health database.
HERMES is a Head-Driven
Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) based natural language interface (NLI) for
ad-hoc queries on a medical database. HPSG is a syntactical based grammatical
formalism that unifies a phrase into a single meaning. NLIDB (natural language
interface to a database) for medical databases. This interface is named Hermes.
This is in recognition of both his ability as a messenger between gods and
mortals and for his staff, the cadecus, that is used as a symbol by the medical
profession. This system strives to improve the communication between the user
and the database. The present Hermes system is implemented in a SGI IRIX
environment to access the medical database designed by Weidong Yu.
DBLEARN, our initial
database learning system, performs knowledge discovery in databases. Using
attribute-oriented induction with set-oriented database operations, we extract
generalized data from databases. An attribute-oriented concept tree ascension
technique is applied in generalization, substantially reducing the
computational complexity of database learning processes. Characteristic,
discrimination, association, and statistical (evolution) rules can be
discovered using this approach. DBDISCOVER improved the efficiency of
DBLEARN 1000-fold and has been transferred to industry (Rogers Cablesystems,
Paradigm, Showbase & SaskTel).
DBROUGH further refines
the data mining capabilities by applying rough sets technology to the final
generalized relation (from DBLEARN) and, without loss of information, further
reduces the final generalized relation. GRG (generalize, reduce,
generate) amalgamates the best of DBDISCOVER and DBROUGH. We plan to augment
and integrate the DBLEARN family with SYSTEMX.
Machine translation has fascinated and frustrated researchers
for over 50 years. Recent successes in statistical, nonlinguistic and hybrid systems
have given hope that we will not be confined to the traditional direct, transfer
and intralingual approaches that have dominated in the past. We provide an
approach from computer science methodology: generate and repair machine translation.
(GRMT).
GRMT comprises three phases: Analysis Lite MT, Translation
Candidate Interpretation (TCI) and Repair and Iterate (RI). ALMT generates
translation candidates (TC) by considering syntactic and semantic differences between
language pairs without performing any sophisticated analysis. This ensures that
the TC can be generated quickly, simply and efficiently. Next, the system
interprets the TC to see if it retains the meaning of the SL. If so, that TC
will be considered a translation. If not, that TC will be repaired based on the
diagnosis indicated in the TCI phase.. Subsequently the repaired TC will be
re-interpreted to determine if it still has a different meaning from the SL.
These two processes iterate until the TC conveys the same meaning as the SL.
The TCI and RI stages ensure the accuracy of the translation result. They also
guarantee translation accuracy.
GRMT treats SL and TL separately and is aware of differences
between languages. Thus, if languages can be grouped according to various
characteristics, e.g., auxiliary verb, continuous tenses, passive voice, etc.,
which they have in common, then the translation between groups can be performed
more simply by GRMT. For example: Group 1 consists of English, French and
Spanish, Group 2 consists of Chinese, Japanese and Thai. To perform the
translation between these two groups, the transfer approach requires six SL
analyzers, six TL generations and 18 sets of transfer rules while GRMT requires
six SL TCIs, six TL TCIs and 2 sets of constraint applications.
ELEM2 is a rule induction and classification system
that induces decision rules from a set of observed data and classifies new
examples by applying the induced rules. ELEM2 is distinguished from other rule
induction systems in that it employs several new strategies in the induction
and classification processes. ELEM2 uses a new heuristic function for
evaluating attribute-value pairs in the induction process. The function
reflects the degree of relevance of an attribute-value pair to a target concept
and leads to selection of the most relevant pairs for formulating rules. ELEM2
handles inconsistent training examples by defining an unlearnable region of a
concept based on the probability distribution of that concept in the training
data. The unlearnable region is used as a stopping criterion for the concept
learning process, which resolves conflicts without removing inconsistent
examples before rule induction. ELEM2 employs a new rule quality measure for
the purpose of handling imperfect data by post-pruning generated rules. The
measure is defined according to the relative distribution of a rule with
respect to positive and negative examples and is chosen from four alternatives
that represent different kinds of distributions. Experiments to evaluate ELEM2
compared ELEM2 with two standard rule induction methods, C4.5 and CN2, on both
artificial and real-world datasets. Our results show that ELEM2 produces better
classification accuracies than C4.5 and CN2 on most of the tested datasets. We
are actively engaged in technology transfer of ELEM2 with Knowledge Junction
Systems Inc.
ELEM2-CBR is a learning and problem solving system
that integrates rule induction and case-based reasoning. ELEM2-CBR employs a
new weighting method, called relevance weighting, to assess similarities
between cases. Relevance weighting method makes use of rule induction results
to assign weights to attribute-value pairs of the query case. Cases in the case
base can be ranked according to their probability of relevance to the new case.
ELEM2-CBR performs both classification and numeric prediction under a mixed
paradigm of rule-based and case-based reasoning. We applied ELEM2-CBR to water
demand prediction. Results from this application compared favorably with
results from a time series prediction method.
HYRIS (Hybrid Rough Set Intelligent System
Architecture for Survival Analysis) is a comprehensive intelligent system for
survival data analysis. HYRIS circumvents two challenges for survival analysis.
HYRIS performs survival data analysis with consideration of censor variables,
hypothesis testing and reducts/probe reducts that are original in our study.
Our research with HPSG parsers and
with KDD is considered pioneering work in both areas (KDD Newsletter). We were
among the initial research teams to become involved in the development of the
theory of both. Primary and secondary research activity described facilitates
some of our IRIS NCE, NSERC Strategic grant, CITO grant and industrial contract
and more applied research activity.
