solving crossword puzzles

• While constructing crossword puzzles is a well-defined problem with well-defined solutions, building an artificially intelligent system to solve crossword puzzles is much more difficult.
• Impossible? Not if you use Google. Email me to hear more.

semantic web

• Imagine if the world's Web pages were designed for machines instead of humans. The amount of information available on the World Wide Web is mind-boggling.
• What if machines could process and understand that information? Enter the Semantic Web. Email me to learn more.

foom

• What do you get when you combine Python, C, and Groovy, three very different programming languages? Adam Wilson intends to find out. He's working on FOOM, an exploratory programming language.
• Check out http://code.google.com/p/foom for more details.

About Me

I have served as Assistant Professor of Computer Science at The College of Saint Rose since the Fall 2006 semester. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from RPI in 2005 with Moorthy by solving crossword puzzles using Google and the Semantic Web.

In 2008, I married Deanna Fox (check out our wedding site). Our first child, Edith Caroline Goldschmidt, was born on Tuesday, December 9, 2008 (click here for pictures).
