Visiting UTMK

The Computer Aided Translation Unit (UTMK) had a big launching event thingy today for their new website and portal, and Didier is leaving USM for a job in France. I visited them today to see their spiffy exhibits and say goodbye to Didier. My first sort-of-real job since graduating was to work on a Malay version of Wordnet, and I sometimes I really miss my old workplace.

These are LLT's cubicle decorations. As you can see my friends have come up with interesting slogans and acronyms for my former office. It looks so much more lively now with the stuffed animals.

Here is Didier giving a presentation on conceptual vectors (see his publications for more information on this).

The UTMK group photo with industrial trainees. Didier is wearing a songket, which was his going-away present. Sadly, I am not in this picture.

I am in this shot, however. This picture shows Didier and I just after having an afternoon snack.

It was great seeing everyone again today. Best of luck to Didier, and bon voyage!
