Biography
Dr. Chrysanne DiMarco is a professor in the Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo, University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, Canada.
Research Interest
Professor Di Marco's research focuses on the development of computational models of natural language pragmatics for use in such applications as natural language generation, text analysis, and health informatics. “Pragmatics” are the subtle but significant aspects of language that involve specific choices of words, grammatical form, and deeper semantic content that together contribute to the overall meaning of a text or utterance. Despite progress in Computational Linguistics, pragmatics of human communication remain understudied and under-represented in current computational systems.
