Gonzalo Iglesias

My main research interest is statistical machine translation, specifically hierarchical systems. I am a PhD student under supervision of E. R. Banga and A. de Gispert. I have also worked on speech synthesis and pos-tagging systems for Galician and Spanish (Cotovia). I am currently working under a Spanish grant (FPI) at the University of Vigo.
