- Dear Prospective Employer:
-
- I graduated with a Ph.D in Computer Science in August of 1992 from
- Florida State University. I am currently seeking a research position
- in AI or AI related software project. My specialization is in Natural
- Language Processing. I am particularly interested in applying AI
- techniques to application oriented products.
-
- Currently, I am involved in designing and developing an expert system
- in an object oriented environment for the State of Florida that automates
- the adjudicator's job of recommending or denying benefits to an unemployed
- person. The ADS knowledge base shell from Aion is being used for the
- development of this expert system.
-
- I am also involved in a project (personal) in Neural Networks to recognize
- English characters with small aberrations. I am implementing this in
- C using X-window graphic tools to see the weight changes in the network.
-
- My Ph.D research work has given me a solid background in Artificial
- Intelligence; especially in Knowledge Base Systems. I implemented a
- prototype of a Natural Language Processing system for my dissertation
- in C. It involved developing features in the system that were capable
- of handling various syntactic and semantic errors in input English
- sentences within a restricted domain. Extensive use of Fuzzy Logic
- and Knowledge Representation in my research has given me a firm
- background in these areas as well.
-
- My Master's project was in Database which involved taking in various
- user views of the same data and integrating them in the database.
- I have taught a senior level class in databases that involved teaching
- relational databases, SQL and various other database techiniques;
- however I have not had the opportunity to use any of these in a DBMS.
-
- In addition to my research experience in AI, I have a strong
- mathematical background. This provides me with analytical skills
- that I have found to be a valuable asset not only in approaching
- projects and other problems, but also in acquiring new skills. My
- job as a teaching assistant has enhanced my ability to communicate
- well and taught me how to work productively and amiably with people.
- A position which will allow the application of my combined analytical,
- computing and research skills and afford me the opportunity to work
- with other people is the kind of job I am seeking.
-
- If you desire to discuss my qualifications in greater detail, I shall be
- glad to do so either over a telephone or in a personal interview.
- Thank you.
-
-
-
- Sincerely,
-
- Sujatha Nagarajan
