Francis (フランシス) Bond (ボンド)

the kind gentle face of Francis Bond

Currently working in the Department of Asian Studies, Palacký University Olomouc as extraordinary professor and the Department of General Linguistics, as Head of Department.

I am also adjunct professor at Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies at the Education University of Hong Kong.

Before coming to UPOL, I worked in Linguistics at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), where I co-founded the Digital Humanities Research Cluster. From 2006 to 2009, I worked at the NICT Information Analysis Laboratory (then the Language Infrastructure Group) in Japan. I was mainly involved in creating linguistic resources, such as a Japanese Treebank and Wordnet. From 1991 to 2006, I worked at NTT mainly on Machine Translation.

Research Interests

I am looking for doctoral students interested in working on: Implementing head-driven phrase structure grammars for Chinese, Japanese or Malay; Cross-lingual disambiguation; Semantic-transfer based Machine Translation; Wordnets. Candidates should have some computational experience as well as linguistic knowledge.
