I'm a doctor....

...passed my phd defense with minor corrections on Monday.

woohoohoo! Now I can go back to training regularly (was hibernating for a few weeks studying my thesis and various papers). My knees have been complaining that I haven't been squatting (they don't appear to like walking around town a lot or to and from work without some strength work as well) so first session back will be some nice squats....

thanks . Dictionary Characteristics in Cross-Language Electronic Information Retrieval (did this in a comp sci department).

to explain - google is an information retrieval system (indexes documents, retrieves ones matching your query terms). Cross-language is retrieving stuff in many languages for one query, eg chinese, japanese, french documents for English queries. I did english to french as the data is easy to get (thanks Canada) and since I speak good french I could check the system was actually working and not too buggy. There are lots of ways you can do it but many of them require expensive resources like bilingual text (lots of), machine translation aids etc, and dictionaries are the handy way of doing this when you haven't got the money/time to deal with the above. Anyway I found that if you dick around with the dictionary contents enough you can get performance as good as doing the expensive stuff. The EU funded the work coz they love this stuff to bits...
Now, I need to submit it to a journal, as I deicded to submit my thesis first and worry about journals after.

Went out to dinner to a Tex-Mex place last night to celebrate. mmmm fajitas..... going to see the Two Towers tonight. Gym tomorrow night. Going clubbing this weekend (you can tell I'v been hibernating with my books and papers for quite a while can't you ).
