Evaluation by Alignment: Synthesis Lectures on Computer Science

Jungyeul Park, Ph.D., a Research Professor at the Culture Technology Institute, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), is a computational linguist and computer scientist specializing in syntactic parsing, formal grammar, and evaluation methodologies in natural language processing (NLP). His work includes the development of algorithms for converting dependency to constituency structures across English, Chinese, and Korean, as well as the creation of multilingual treebanks and linguistically informed evaluation frameworks. He has published extensively on parsing, corpus development, and grammatical error correction, and recently introduced an alignment-based evaluation algorithm that addresses mismatches in preprocessing—critical for evaluating end-to-end NLP systems. His research blends theoretical precision with practical applications, particularly in multilingual and learner language contexts. Dr. Park collaborates widely on international projects and interdisciplinary initiatives that promote robust NLP tools and linguistic diversity. His work consistently aims to make language technologies more reliable and accessible across real-world settings.
