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 the Mexican Academy of Sciences (AMC) and a 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.

Collaborator of the L.N. Gumilyev Eurasian National University, Kazakhstan.

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 at the All-Union Scientific and Technical Information Center (AUSTIC) and part-time teacher at the Moscow State University (MSU), Russia.

My CV lists my publications, projects, and awards. I have more than 1000 citations to my papers excluding self-citations (more than 2000 citations according to Google Scholar, with h-index 23). According to Springer's rating, I am one of the most productive Mexican scientists. 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. I am Vice President and President elect of the Mexican Society of Artificial Intelligence (SMIA). I am founding Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Computational Linguistics and Applications (IJCLA) and Editor-in-Chief of the journal Polibits.

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 because I taught them my key to success. All my students receive good scholarship.

CIC's PhD program is certified as quality program and MSc as international quality program, 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.

Tools or lexical resources developed in our Laboratory (most of them are free to use) include:

• AGME Spanish morphology: analyzer and dictionary of Spanish word forms with morphological information

• RMorph Russian morphology: analyzer and dictionary of Russian word forms with morphological information

• TnT tagger and Brill tagger trained for Spanish: Spanish language models

• Parser with a grammar for Spanish

• Spanish verb-noun lexical functions corpus

• Open Fact Extraction gold standard datasets for Spanish and parallel Spanish-English.

• Russian corpus of coordinated pairs in Internet queries (association network)

• CICWN: a Java WordNet API that allows Java applications to retrieve data from WordNet

• CICWSD: a Java WSD API for word sense disambiguation

• EvolutionJ: a Java API for global numerical optimization (to appear soon)

• Classifier: a tool for determining the main topic of a document and clustering documents accordingly

• Russian CrossLexica and English CrossLexica: a very large (Russian) dictionary of collocations

• MAC

• Doc Investigator

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