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).

Research Professor and Head of the Natural Language Laboratory at the Centro de Investigación en Computación (CIC) of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN), Mexico.

Senior Researcher of the International Laboratory for Intelligent Systems and Structural Analysis, Higher School of Economics, Russia.

Visiting Professor of the Institute for Modern Linguistic Research, Sholokhov Moscow State University for the Humanities, Russia.

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

Member of the research team of the Sentic Lab at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

Member of the Machine Intelligence Research Labs (MIR Labs), USA.

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.

Invited Researcher at the Media Network Center of Waseda University (2011–2014), Tokyo, Japan. I've spent my Sabbatical leave 2010–2011 as Visiting Scholar at Waseda University.

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.

I am a member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences (AMC), founding member of the Mexican Academy of Computing (AMEXCOMP), and a National Researcher of Mexico at excellence Level 2 (SNI 2).

My CV lists my publications, projects, and awards. I have h-index 36, with more than 5000 citations (I have checked manually first 2000 citations to my papers that are not self-citations). According to Springer's rating, I am one of the most productive authors in Artificial Intelligence and Computational Linguistics, and one of the most productive Mexican computer scientists. According to Google Scholar, I am within 100 most-cited authors in Computational Linguistics. My Erdős number is 4 (if you are my co-author, then yours is ≤ 5). My Microsoft Academic Search rating is 10 in NLP, 7 in DB, 4 in AI. 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 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 more than 25 PhD students who are citizens of 11 countries: , as well as more than 25 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.

To help students to better choose their research topic, plan their research, present their findings, and write papers, I prepared a presentation on Do-s and Don't-s in your PhD (and not only in PhD). There is a lot more to say about it. You may want to invite me for a talk on this topic.

Tools or lexical resources (most of them, free to use) developed in our Laboratory or together with our collaborators include:

• CORDIAM: diachronic and diatopic corpus of Spanish of the Americas, with search interface

• CrossLexica dictionary web interface: a very large a very large dictionary of Russian collocations and semantic derivates

• PerSent: Persian sentiment analysis and opinion mining lexicon: polarity for about 1500 Persian words.

• System for plagiarism detection, the winner of the the Text Alignment task at PAN 2014 (version 2.0)

• Corpus for implicit aspect extraction and implicit aspect indicator extraction in opinion mining

• EmoSenticNet: Augmented SenticNet / expanded WordNet Affect for opinion mining and sentiment analysis

• Spanish verb-noun lexical functions corpus (semantics of Spanish collocations)

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

• Russian corpus of coordinated pairs in Internet queries (association network); search term co-occurrences

• 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 topical clustering of documents

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

• TnT tagger and Brill tagger trained for Spanish: Spanish language models for POS tagger (part-of-speech tagger)

• 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

• Parser: a simple syntactic parser with a grammar for Spanish

• 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 (green):
