  Clinton Goveas :: Wikipedia Reference
MIT was founded by William Barton Rogers in 1861 in response to the increasing industrialization of the United States.
While the Ivy League institutions settled, MIT contested the charges on the grounds that the practice was not anticompetitive because it ensured the availability of aid for the greatest number of students and ultimately prevailed when the Justice Department dropped the case in 1994.
MIT biologists have also been recognized for their discoveries and advances in RNA, protein synthesis, apoptosis, gene splicing and introns, antibody diversity, reverse transcriptase, oncogenes, and phage resistance.

 Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MIT has been noted for the Radiation Laboratory's contributions to radar development during the Second World War; for contributions to electronic computation, particularly Project Whirlwind and magnetic core memory; and as an influencer of U. national science policies during the years of the Cold War (Leslie, 1994).
MIT faculty and students pride themselves on pure intellectual ability and achievement, and MIT professors often say that they grade with "all the letters of the alphabet." Due to these academic pressures, MIT culture is characterized by a love-hate relationship.
MIT maintains an undergraduate exchange program with the University of Cambridge in England, in a partnership known as the Cambridge-MIT Institute, which was established to bring the entrepreneurial spirit of MIT to the United Kingdom and to increase knowledge exchange between universities and industry.

MIT is one of two private land-grant universities as well as being a sea-grant and space-grant university.
MIT graduates and faculty are also noted for their entrepreneurial spirit: a 1997 report by MIT claimed that the aggregated revenues produced by the 4,000 companies founded by MIT and its graduates would make it the twenty-fourth largest economy in the world.
MIT is governed by a 78-member board of trustees known as the MIT Corporation which approve the budget, degrees, and faculty appointments as well as electing the President.

MIT is a widely renowned leader in science and technology, as well as in many other fields, including management, economics, linguistics, political science, and philosophy.
Many MIT students live in fraternities, sororities, and independent living groups; however, after the alcohol-related death of Scott Krueger in September 1997, MIT made several decisions that affected the lives of undergraduates in subsequent years, including the decision that all freshmen live in Institute housing beginning in 2002.
After studying the behavior of MIT and Wellesley students, Snyder observed that the "bibles" are often in fact counterproductive: they fool professors into believing that their classes are acquiring knowledge as intended, and so both professors and students become locked into a feedback situation to the detriment of actual education.

 Packrat Parsing: a Practical Linear-Time Algorithm with Backtracking
While TDPL was originally created as a formal model for top-down parsers with backtracking capability, this thesis extends TDPL into a powerful general-purpose notation for describing language syntax, providing a compelling alternative to traditional context-free grammars (CFGs).
Common syntactic idioms that cannot be represented concisely in a CFG are easily expressed in TDPL, such as longest-match disambiguation and "syntactic predicates," making it possible to describe the complete lexical and grammatical syntax of a practical programming language in a single TDPL grammar.
Packrat parsing is an adaptation of a 30-year-old tabular parsing algorithm that was never put into practice until now.

Bapst Library is “widely praised as the ‘finest example of Collegiate Gothic architecture in America,’” its Gargan Hall “named the most beautiful room in Boston.” Curiously, those hyperbolic architectural references were added, along with much of the University’s history, in a few large edits by a user at an MIT domain.
And the University’s first digital library catalogue—the GEAC Library Computer System—came into use with the opening of O’Neill Library in 1984, certainly not behind the times (the Library of Congress finished its conversion in 1981), but not among the very first.

Word sense ambiguity poses a great challenge in producing high quality translation output even in a relatively limited domain.
In this paper, we propose a word sense disambiguation technique implemented in an operational interlingua-based machine translation system and applied to a military domain.
The technique utilizes semantic tagging and selectional preference statistics obtained from the parsed corpus, and can be easily ported to other domains and is extendable to understanding-based information retrieval.
