Fahad Khan
Project member
Fahad Khan is a post-doctoral fellow at CNR-ILC. He has a BSc (Hons) from the University of Glasgow, a MSc from the University of Manchester and a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Nottingham. His current research interests include ontologies, language resources, computational lexicography, linked data and the digital humanities. His interests within the project include, in particular, the use and definition of standards for accessing computational lexicographic resources.
Claudia Soria
Project member
Claudia Soria is a Researcher at CNR-ILC. She has a background in Computational Linguistics, with a focus on language resources in their entire life-cycle, from creation to representation to evaluation. She is one of the authors of LMF (Lexical Markup Framework), an ISO standard for the representation of computational lexicons. Her current research interests revolve around the use of language technology for the protection and valorization of linguistic diversity. Other current interests are the use and usability of regional/minority languages on digital media, the creation of lexico-conceptual resources for archiving traditional knowledge and the development of language resources and tools for minority languages. She regularly organizes events for this particular sector and is member of various initiatives and organisations that act to provide digital and technological support to minority languages.
