Benoit Lavoie
Computational Linguist
Benoit Lavoie holds a Master's degree in computer science and a bachelor's degree majoring in linguistics, both from the University of Montreal. His master's thesis concerned the text planning of bilingual text summaries in several areas of economic statistics using interlingual representations and their mapping to English and French semantic representations for surface generation in these languages. He has worked with CoGenTex since 1990, initially with our Montreal affiliate.
He has led the R&D efforts involving the development or integration with linguistic resources for English, Arabic, and Korean: lexical, morphological, syntactic, and semantic knowledge bases and software components.
Benoit is the principal developer of the RealPro syntactic realizer, and has led the development of natural language systems in different areas including text generation, machine translation, question answering, and text analysis.
Benoit is currently working on the Automated Real-time Narrative Summaries system.
