Dr. Preslav Nakov is a Senior Scientist in the Arabic Language Technologies group at the Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI), Qatar Foundation. His research interests include computational linguistics, machine translation, lexical semantics, Web as a corpus, and biomedical text processing. His current research focus is on Arabic language processing, with an emphasis on statistical machine translation to/from Arabic. Before joining QCRI, Dr. Nakov was at the National University of Singapore, where he worked on text and spoken language machine translation for Asian languages, including Chinese, Malay and Indonesian. Prior to that, he was at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the Sofia University, where he was an honorary lecturer. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley in 2007, supported by a Fulbright grant and a Berkeley fellowship. Dr. Nakov authored three books, one book chapter, and many research papers at conferences such as ACL, HLT-NAACL, EMNLP, ICML, CoNLL, COLING, EACL, ECAI, and RANLP, and journals such as JAIR, TSLP, NLE and LRE. He received the Young Researcher Award at RANLP’2011. He was also the first to receive the Bulgarian President’s John Atanasoff annual award for achievements in the development of the information society (December 2003); the award is named after an American of Bulgarian ancestry who co-invented the first automatic electronic digital computer, the Atanasoff-Berry computer. Dr. Nakov has served on the program committee of the major conferences and workshops in computational linguistics, including as a coorganizer and an area/publication/tutorial chair
