I hold a PhD in Computer Science. My main area of interests is computational linguistics (natural language processing; see an introductory book, an introductory text in Spanish and another introductory text).

I am academician of Mexican Academy of Sciences (AMC) and National Researcher of Mexico Excellence Level 2 (SNI 2).

Research Professor and Head of the Natural Language Laboratory at the Center for Computing Research (CIC) of the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN), Mexico.

Invited Researcher at the Media Network Center of Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan. I've spent my Sabbatical leave 2010–2011 as Visiting Scholar at Waseda University.

Invited Professor of the PhD program on Systems and Industrial  Engineering (DIS), National University (UN), Bogotá, Colombia.

Member of the Social Networks Research Center (SoNet RC), Mendel University in Brno (MendelU), Czech Republic.

I've spent my Sabbatical leave 2003–2004 as Distinguished Visiting Professor at Chung-Ang University (CAU), Seoul, Korea.

Before, I was a software developer for MICRA, Inc., New Jersey, USA.

And before that, I was a researcher for the All-Union Scientific and Technical Information Center (AUSTIC), part-time teacher for the Moscow State University (MSU), part-time translator for PC World Russian edition, and part-time consultant for ART/GUR Software Inc., Moscow, Russia.

My CV lists my publications, projects, and awards, as well as citations to my papers. My Erdős number is 4 (if you are my co-author, then yours is ≤ 5). See info about me in DBLP and DBLife.

I am the founder and chair of the CICLing International Conference series. I have been Honorary Chair of ENC-2008, Program co-chair of some recent MICAI, CIC, CORE, and some other conferences.

My academic genealogy is simple: my PhD advisor was Prof. I.A. Bolshakov, DSc, who had no advisor. I have been, or currently am, advisor of a number of PhD students who are citizens of 10 countries: , as well as a number of MSc and BSc students. I supervise, or have supervised, theses in . My students have received important  awards.

CIC's PhD program is certified as quality program and MSc as international quality programs, which implies that our students (including foreigners) receive very attractive scholarships (see details). Foreign students can apply for an even higher scholarship to study with us. As examples, see some of my courses.

Some tools developed in our Laboratory are: Spanish verb-noun lexical functions corpus, AGME Spanish morphology, RMorph Russian morphology, TnT tagger and Brill tagger trained for Spanish, Parser, Classifier, CrossLexica and English CrossLexica, MAC, Doc Investigator. Some lexical resources developed in our Laboratory are Spanish verb-noun lexical functions corpus and a corpus of coordinated pairs in Internet queries (association network). See also my research projects.

Useful NLP links. See also: ACL, AI-Tech Web directory.

One of the few things we scientists get in return for all our efforts is travelling. Here are the countries I've visited:
