Dan Jurafsky is Associate Professor in the Linguistics Department, Symbolic Systems Program, and, by courtesy, Computer Science Department at Stanford University. He earned (well, anyway, he received) the B.A. in Linguistics and the Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley. Dan studies speech and language processing by both humans and machines, focusing on integrating rich sources of linguistic knowledge with statistical models. Dan also plays the drums in various mediocre bands, and his 2002 MacArthur award has given him probably exaggerated high hopes for his recipe for Three Cups Chicken. Recent publications include (with James H. Martin) Speech and Language Processing: An Introduction to Natural Language Processing, Computational Linguistics, and Speech Recognition (Prentice-Hall); (with Alan Bell, Eric Fosler-Lussier, Cynthia Girand, and Daniel Gildea) “Effects of Disfluencies, Predictability, and Utterance Position on Word Form Variation in English Conversation,” in Journal of the Acoustical Society of America; (with Daniel Gildea) “Automatic Labeling of Semantic Roles,” in Computational Linguistics; and “Pragmatics and Computational Linguistics,” in Handbook of Pragmatics (Blackwell).
