1997-2002 Professor and Chair, Computer Science, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON
Since assuming the Chair of Computer Science, we have added 28 bright new faculty members (from 1993-1997 Computer Science was unable to hire any new faculty). In addition new interdisciplinary programs have begun, including bioinformatics, healthcare informatics, digital media, and software engineering. I am most proud of the software engineering new degree program, which is administered jointly by Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering. By putting the good of the students above all other concerns, Waterloo was able to join forces with the two most dynamic departments on campus despite belonging to different Faculties. Fund raising has been a big part of this position and we have worked hard on the Nortel, Bell, Bank of Nova Scotia, QNX, etc., who have benefited both Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Waterloo.
1997- Adjunct Professor, Computer Science Department, University of Regina, Regina, SK.
1997-1997 Professor, Computer Science Department, University of Regina SK.
1993-1997 Associate Vice-President Research & Dean of Graduate Studies, Univ. of Regina, Regina, SK. also International Liaison Officer and Technology Transfer Officer
In charge of three portfolios in Regina, each one was improved, reflected my particular biases. In four years 22 new international agreements were signed with foreign organizations, primarily universities and governments. Student exchanges flourished, especially from Asian and African students. The amount of grant funding nearly tripled at the University in four years, and in two of those years the University of Regina led the nation in the percentage increase of NSERC grants. I initiated the Center for Advanced Systems (CAS) and wrote a major installation proposal to NSERC that was funded to initiate the CAS as a reality. During that same period, nine new graduate programs were started, including six interdisciplinary programs, e.g., the new masters in manufacturing which combined expertise from the Engineering Faculty, Computer Science Department and the Faculty of Administration. Internal funding programs to seed projects were started and a special graduate student conference became a yearly event with Proceedings published.
1988-1995 Associate Member, Linguistics, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC
1987-1992 Director, Centre for Systems Science, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC
As the initial Director of the Centre for Systems Science (CSS), with an annual budget of $3.2M, I developed the CSS infrastructure, programs, staff, and computing network support group into a successful broadly based research infrastructure for advanced systems research. The CSS applied its funds judiciously to leverage $25M in new funds into Simon Fraser researcher’s projects in a five-year period. By 1992 the CSS had 120 faculty members from five Faculties, focussed on interdisciplinary research in three broad areas: microelectronics, intelligent systems, and computing. Under my tutelage, the CSS helped to initiate the micromachining laboratory and the optical characterization laboratory at SFU. The CSS Scholarships were highly visible, as were the strategic initiative grants. The CSS also created 12 new faculty positions, six each in Engineering and Computer Science. The CSS provided computer infrastructure services to over 120 faculty and 200 graduate students. As Director, I was SFU’s representative to the BC Advanced Systems Institute (for whom I wrote their initial proposal). Although the CSS was established with Engineering and Science in mind, the entire University benefited from the breadth of programs and the quality of adjudication of internal fund programs.
1986-1987 Visiting Professor, University of Victoria British Columbia.
I spent one year visiting Computer Science at the University of Victoria at the request of Eric Manning, the new Dean of Engineering. Eric had requested that I help him to establish the Laboratory for Automation, Communication and Information Research (LACIR) and the move of Computer Science into Engineering. I wrote several proposals for UVictoria to help accomplish these items.
1985-1995 Professor, Computing Science, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC.
1980-1985 Associate Professor & Chair, Computing Science, Simon Fraser Univ., Burnaby, B C.
During this term as Chair, I helped to evolve the Computer Science Program into the School of Computing Science. We increased the School to 28 faculty from 7 faculty and also the overall personnel to 42 people (from 18). We developed a strong program in digital systems design at this time in computing science. Together with Gord McCalla, we initiated and edit the international journal Computational Intelligence, initially published by the National Research Council of Canada (NRCC) and now by Blackwell’s, Publisher. I began to take on national roles, as president of the Canadian Artificial Intelligence Society (CSCSI/SCEIO) and as president of the Canadian Society for 5th Generation Research.
1980-1980 Visiting Associate Professor, Math & Computing, Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst., Troy, N.Y.
I was selected to chair computing science in 1980 and took a leave for one semester to develop a long-range plan for the department. I visited Rensselaer and helped them to develop a graduate program, taught engineers programming, and helped Rensselaer to develop their curriculum.
1976-1980 Assistant Professor, Computing Science, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC.
I became the fifth faculty member in the then new computer science program at Simon Fraser. Initially I taught six courses per year and developed the curriculum. In my second year I developed the graduate program, both the masters and doctoral proposals.
1975-1976 Assistant Professor, Math & Computer Science, Old Dominion Univ., Norfolk, VA.
Old Dominion hired its initial five computer scientists in 1975 with students entering their 4th year and expecting computer science degrees. The new faculty, myself included, set about to revising the curriculum in the month before Fall classes began in order to maximize the academic program of the existing students. I was called upon to design curriculum and teach new courses for new Computer Science program. I initiated a reading room and a technical reports series.
1972-1975 Ph.D. Student & Instructor, Computing Science, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB.
Granted another study leave from IBM to pursue a Ph.D. in computing science, I enrolled primarily as a Ph.D. student at the University of Alberta and taught data structures courses.
1971-1972 Instructor, Systems Development, IBM Corporation, Poughkeepsie, New York.
Returning to IBM after a two year’s leave of absence to pursue my masters, I was reassigned to IBM education and taught and developed File and Data structures courses including Job Control Language (JCL), Internal Operating System (OS) Logic, logic design, etc. Typically IBM Systems engineers took these courses. From time to time I was sent to Burlington, Vermont to teach specialized design courses to IBM circuit designers (prior to VLSI technology).
1970-1971 Lecturer, Computer & Information Science, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH.
After completing my masters in computer and information science, with nearly a year remaining on my two year IBM leave of absence, I was asked and taught and developed upper level undergraduate systems and programming courses, including operating systems and systems programming, for the Ohio State University. At the same time I was employed half time in the Ohio State University Computer Center and was responsible for consulting services to other University customers, e.g., agricultural engineers would seek my advice on program requirements and documentation.
1969-1970 Programmer, Systems Development, IBM Corporation, Poughkeepsie, New York.
After spending 3 months in IBM programmer training, I wrote design automation programs for IBM’s Engineering Information Systems (EIS) Project for nearly one year. This project employed 145 programmers and designers and I worked on it for the third of its six years lifetime. I distinguished myself by becoming the first programmer to successfully navigate all seven EIS subsystems, which were constantly under revision, thus illustrating “proof of concept” to the chief designer and his design team. I was responsible for implementing the dependency selection section of the system, which permitted IBM computer engineers to specialize versions of the IBM System 360-model xx for particular requirements for individual customers.
1965-1968 Junior Designer, Peter F. Loftus Consulting Engineers, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Each summer for four months I returned to Peter Loftus to work as a junior designer (internship). Essentially I was a draftsman and drew design layouts for structural steel fabrication, mechanical piping layouts, concrete and asphalt designs for buildings, and electrical layouts. Although my drawings were checked by a senior design engineer, I was encouraged to test designs of my own from time to time, e.g., I designed a brake for an elevator for a 28 story building to stop the elevator in the event of a free fall. [My design was significantly modified before putting it into use]. I enjoyed this work and got on well with the resident architects and engineers, especially my supervisor, Red Rohrs.
Note: Throughout my career, research engagement and research supervision have played an important role. I have produced over 300 refereed publications, graduated over 60 graduate students under my direct supervision, including 16 Ph.D. students, and have been involved on numerous national and international program committees as chair, member, steering committee member, etc. The most recent projects for which I have been involved as research director are listed below; all of them have involved significant industrial participation. Work of these projects have been supported by over $15M of research grant or research contract funding. I have consulted to Boeing Corporation, Open Text Corporation, Showbase Media, Rogers Cablesystems, SaskTel, Knowledge-Junction Systems Inc., Glaxo-Wellcome Inc. and others.
Professionally I have also held positions of influence on NSERC committees (often as a site visit chair) including grant selection committees. I served twice on the Steacie committee, CFI & CRC committees, NRCC articulation committees, the Genome Assessment of Technology Committee, the CANARIE Board, theme coordinator and project leader of the IRIS NCE, various United States NSF Committees, and so on. I have become involved in numerous national and international activities, serve on half a dozen editorial boards, and have served on numerous Provincial and Federal committees. Most fondly, I think of myself as a teacher and faculty member at Dalhousie University.

Artificial Intelligence (including automated natural language understanding, computational linguistics, and knowledge representation); Knowledge-Based Systems (including knowledge discovery, data analysis and data mining), Human-Machine Interfaces (including natural language and multimedia interfaces)
My primary research objectives include: (1) learning, knowledge discovery (KDD), data mining and analysis, and KDD visualization, and (2) design and implementations of natural language (NL) and multimodal interfaces to databases and information systems. Secondary research objectives include: (1) developing formal representations for automated NL understanding (NLU); (2) classification and rule induction from large datasets; (3) machine translation architectures using HPSGs; (4) natural language access to internet search engines; (5) inferential modeling for knowledge-based systems; and (6) automatic generation of coherent NL discourse.
SYSTEMX, our prototype natural language interface (English to SQL translator) to relational databases resulted in several state-of-the-art advances. These advances include design and implementation of an HPSG parser for multiple domains, inheritance reasoning for HPSG, learning of semantic & syntactic information through dialog, computing & utilizing correct navigation (join path) information during interface usage, and portability. We stimulate “technology transfer” with Rogers Cablesystems Ltd. (customer service), Environment Canada (information holdings), SaskTel (marketing) and NSERC (grants information database). We applied SYSTEMX technology in cooperation with Sask Health; this collaboration resulted in the HERMES database interface to a simulated Sask health database.
HERMES is a Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) based natural language interface (NLI) for ad-hoc queries on a medical database. HPSG is a syntactical based grammatical formalism that unifies a phrase into a single meaning. NLIDB (natural language interface to a database) for medical databases. This interface is named Hermes. This is in recognition of both his ability as a messenger between gods and mortals and for his staff, the cadecus, that is used as a symbol by the medical profession. This system strives to improve the communication between the user and the database. The present Hermes system is implemented in a SGI IRIX environment to access the medical database designed by Weidong Yu.
DBLEARN, our initial database learning system, performs knowledge discovery in databases. Using attribute-oriented induction with set-oriented database operations, we extract generalized data from databases. An attribute-oriented concept tree ascension technique is applied in generalization, substantially reducing the computational complexity of database learning processes. Characteristic, discrimination, association, and statistical (evolution) rules can be discovered using this approach. DBDISCOVER improved the efficiency of DBLEARN 1000-fold and has been transferred to industry (Rogers Cablesystems, Paradigm, Showbase & SaskTel).
DBROUGH further refines the data mining capabilities by applying rough sets technology to the final generalized relation (from DBLEARN) and, without loss of information, further reduces the final generalized relation. GRG (generalize, reduce, generate) amalgamates the best of DBDISCOVER and DBROUGH. We plan to augment and integrate the DBLEARN family with SYSTEMX.
Machine translation has fascinated and frustrated researchers for over 50 years. Recent successes in statistical, nonlinguistic and hybrid systems have given hope that we will not be confined to the traditional direct, transfer and intralingual approaches that have dominated in the past. We provide an approach from computer science methodology: generate and repair machine translation. (GRMT).
GRMT comprises three phases: Analysis Lite MT, Translation Candidate Interpretation (TCI) and Repair and Iterate (RI). ALMT generates translation candidates (TC) by considering syntactic and semantic differences between language pairs without performing any sophisticated analysis. This ensures that the TC can be generated quickly, simply and efficiently. Next, the system interprets the TC to see if it retains the meaning of the SL. If so, that TC will be considered a translation. If not, that TC will be repaired based on the diagnosis indicated in the TCI phase.. Subsequently the repaired TC will be re-interpreted to determine if it still has a different meaning from the SL. These two processes iterate until the TC conveys the same meaning as the SL. The TCI and RI stages ensure the accuracy of the translation result. They also guarantee translation accuracy.
GRMT treats SL and TL separately and is aware of differences between languages. Thus, if languages can be grouped according to various characteristics, e.g., auxiliary verb, continuous tenses, passive voice, etc., which they have in common, then the translation between groups can be performed more simply by GRMT. For example: Group 1 consists of English, French and Spanish, Group 2 consists of Chinese, Japanese and Thai. To perform the translation between these two groups, the transfer approach requires six SL analyzers, six TL generations and 18 sets of transfer rules while GRMT requires six SL TCIs, six TL TCIs and 2 sets of constraint applications.
ELEM2 is a rule induction and classification system that induces decision rules from a set of observed data and classifies new examples by applying the induced rules. ELEM2 is distinguished from other rule induction systems in that it employs several new strategies in the induction and classification processes. ELEM2 uses a new heuristic function for evaluating attribute-value pairs in the induction process. The function reflects the degree of relevance of an attribute-value pair to a target concept and leads to selection of the most relevant pairs for formulating rules. ELEM2 handles inconsistent training examples by defining an unlearnable region of a concept based on the probability distribution of that concept in the training data. The unlearnable region is used as a stopping criterion for the concept learning process, which resolves conflicts without removing inconsistent examples before rule induction. ELEM2 employs a new rule quality measure for the purpose of handling imperfect data by post-pruning generated rules. The measure is defined according to the relative distribution of a rule with respect to positive and negative examples and is chosen from four alternatives that represent different kinds of distributions. Experiments to evaluate ELEM2 compared ELEM2 with two standard rule induction methods, C4.5 and CN2, on both artificial and real-world datasets. Our results show that ELEM2 produces better classification accuracies than C4.5 and CN2 on most of the tested datasets. We are actively engaged in technology transfer of ELEM2 with Knowledge Junction Systems Inc.
ELEM2-CBR is a learning and problem solving system that integrates rule induction and case-based reasoning. ELEM2-CBR employs a new weighting method, called relevance weighting, to assess similarities between cases. Relevance weighting method makes use of rule induction results to assign weights to attribute-value pairs of the query case. Cases in the case base can be ranked according to their probability of relevance to the new case. ELEM2-CBR performs both classification and numeric prediction under a mixed paradigm of rule-based and case-based reasoning. We applied ELEM2-CBR to water demand prediction. Results from this application compared favorably with results from a time series prediction method.
HYRIS (Hybrid Rough Set Intelligent System Architecture for Survival Analysis) is a comprehensive intelligent system for survival data analysis. HYRIS circumvents two challenges for survival analysis. HYRIS performs survival data analysis with consideration of censor variables, hypothesis testing and reducts/probe reducts that are original in our study.
Our research with HPSG parsers and with KDD is considered pioneering work in both areas (KDD Newsletter). We were among the initial research teams to become involved in the development of the theory of both. Primary and secondary research activity described facilitates some of our IRIS NCE, NSERC Strategic grant, CITO grant and industrial contract and more applied research activity.
