About Gilbert Segura

Over 19 Years of localization experience on both the client and vendor side in the high tech industry. I\'ve worked with Dell, Lionbridge, Siemens, Amazon, Jonckers, and Welocalize. I started my localization work during my 10 years at Dell handling localization for technical knowledge (my first love), sales, and marketing. I provided editorial, production, technical, business analysis, budget forecasting and support. At Amazon I figured out I really wanted to solve some big problems with knowledge-based semantic analysis, concept extraction, recombination, machine translation, machine content generation, ontologies, and a bunch of acronyms which, if put together the right way, are a patent.{pending.}Specialties and interests: Translation forecasting and spend management, SDL Worldserver, String translations, Post-Edited MT, Machine Translation, Matecat, workflow systems, fancy process stuff, six sigma, business analysis, Knowledge Management, domain modeling, rule creation, content management, taxonomies, CMS content \"untangling\", and reverse engineering complex arbitrary systems and slamming them into high-gear.Things I want to do more of: Semantic mapping, Knowledge Engineering, Machine Learning
