Abstract
Peter Heeman was born October 22, 1963, and much to his dismay his parents had already moved away from Toronto. Instead he was born in London Ontario, where he grew up on a strawberry farm. He attended the University of Waterloo where he re-ceived a Bachelors of Mathematics with a joint degree in Pure Mathematics and Com-puter Science in the spring of 1987. After working two years for a software engineering company, which supposedly used artificial intelligence techniques to automate COBOL and CICS programming, Peter was ready for a change. What better way to wipe the slate clear than by going to graduate school at the University of Toronto, but not without first spending the sum-mer in Europe. After spending two months in countries where he couldn’t speak the language, Peter became fascinated by language, and so decided to give computational linguistics a try.
