Jaime Guillermo Carbonell, an American computer scientist and AI researcher with focus on machine learning and machine translation. He holds a Ph.D. in computer science in 1979 from Yale University and is Allen Newell professor at Carnegie Mellon University, co-founder and chairman, of Carnegie Speech Incorporated and Wisdom Technologies Corporation. Jaime Carbonell invented multiple well-known algorithms and methods, including proactive machine learning for multi-source cost-sensitive active learning, linked conditional random fields  (L-SCRF) for predicting tertiary and quaternary protein folds, maximal marginal relevance (MMR) for information novelty, retrieval and summarization, topic-conditioned modeling for novelty detection, symmetric optimal phrasal alignment method for trainable example-based and statistical machine translation, series-anomaly modeling for financial fraud detection and syndromic surveillance, knowledge-basedinterlingual machine translation, transformational analogy for case-based reasoning, derivational analogy for reconstructive justification-based reasoning, robust case-frame parsing, seededversion-space learning, and developed improvements to several other machine learning algorithms. Current research foci include robust statistical learning and mapping protein sequences to 3D structure and inferring functional properties, automated transfer-rule learning for machine translation, enriched active  transfer learning context-based machine translation, and machine translation for very rare languages.
