Until 2012, Eduard Hovy led ISI’s Natural Language Technologies group, which includes about 40 researchers, students, and staff. ISI’s Natural Language Processing is internationally known for combining statistical and symbolic knowledge-based methods to solve automated machine reading and machine translation challenges, among others.
Hovy also directs research at USC’s Digital Government Research Center and co-directs research for the Center for Command, Control and Interoperability Data Analytics with Rutgers University and the University of Illinois. An adjunct research professor at several universities in Canada, China and Korea, and a board member for other research entities, Hovy frequently advises funders in the US and European Union.
His research focuses on information extraction, automated text summarization, semi-automated construction of large lexicons and ontologies, machine translation, question answering and digital government. Hovy earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science at Yale University and joined ISI in 1987.
