Michael Gamon is a researcher in the Natural Language Processing Group at Microsoft Research. He joined Microsoft Research after receiving his Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Washington in 1996. He worked first on developing the German computational grammar which is used in the Word grammar checker and became interested in the specific problems of language learners at that time. Subsequently he has done research in a number of areas, from natural language generation to sentiment detection, language in social media, and query classification. In the past several years he has been working on the Microsoft Research ESL Assistant , a prototype web service for detection and correction of grammatical errors of English language learners. His current interests include more flexible data driven algorithms for grammatical error detection. See less
