The CARMEL Team

Dr. Carolyn Penstein Rose is a Research Scientist at the Language Technologies Institute and Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. Much of the CARMEL Workbench technology was developed during her previous life as a Project Coordinator in the Natural Language Tutoring Group at the Learning Research and Development Center. She is the primary author of CARMEL Workbench code and oversees all aspects of the work. Her former team-mates played an important role in the development of the work prior to her move to CMU. Brian Moses Hall was the chief grammar writer and author of the lexical level processing components of the CARMEL understanding component and Carmel-Tools authoring tool package. Antonio Roque was the chief interface programmer and assisted with large scale corpus evaluations and data analysis. Dumisizwe Bhembe was the CARMEL team Naive Bayes classification expert, corpus annotator, and human subjects evaluation facilitator.
