I am a PhD student in the Faculty of Computer Science
at Dalhousie Unversity. My supervisors are Dr. Yannick Marchand
and Dr. Vlado Keselj. My research interests are
in Compuational Linguistics.
I completed my Masters ("Automatic Syllabification in European Languages: A Comparison of Data-driven
Methods" [abstract] [pdf]
[presentation]) under the same supervisors. An abridged version
of the results of this work is available here.
I completed my BCS degree through the Faculty of Computer Science
at the University of New Brunswick. During my studies there,
I worked with Dr. Bruce
Spencer and Sandy Liu
(both of NRC-IIT) on issues concerning
Web Services, Pi-Calculus and Petri Nets.
Although my married name is now Connie Jess, I continue to publish under my maiden name (Connie R. Adsett).
