Amit Dubey
Amit Dubey is a Computational Linguist who conducts research in Artificial Intelligence with a specialization in Computational linguistics, Computational linguistics, and Human Cognition. He works as a Search Quality Engineer at Google and uses Natural Language Processing to improve search quality. [-1]
Career
From 2009-2012 Amit worked as a Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh. He was a Principal Investigator on 3-year ESRC-funded grant on syntax /semantic interactions in human language understanding. Research spanned Computational models and experimental Psycholinguistics. [-1]
From October 2009-February 2009 Dubey worked as a Visiting Professor, teaching graduate-level courses and advising Master's theses at the University of Stuttgart. [-1]
From January-October 2008 Dubey worked as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant. He was an experimental psychologist investigating theories of eye-movement control while reading at the University of Dundee. [-1]
From November 2004-January 2008 Amit was a Research fellow at the University of Edinburgh. He worked as experimental psychologist and computational psycholinguist on a 3-year grant investigating how people process repeated syntactic structures. Research led to publications in world-class journals including Cognition (journal) and the Journal of Experimental Psychology. [-1]
From May-July 1998 he was a Research assistant at the University of Waterloo and developed an interface between research-grade CAM software and traditional CAD tools. [-1]
Since August till December, 1997 Amit worked as a Consultant on Y2K conversion project at multi-billion dollar power utility at Lanco Global Systems. [-1]
