Leading researcher LIOMN (LISMN) SRC MSU since 1999. Published about 100 scientific papers.
The main areas of activity of N. N. Leontyeva are machine translation , information analysis of texts, automatic indexing and automatic search for information , computer lexicography , and intelligent systems for automatic understanding of text .
N.N. Leontieva began working at the Machine Translation Laboratory (MP) of the M. Torez Institute of Foreign Languages (Moscow State Pedagogical Institute, now MSLU ). For 14 years, she participated in the creation of MP systems and dictionaries for them, organized the work of the 1st All-Union Association for MP, conducted publishing (7 issues of Bulletins on MP were published, then 21 collections on MP and PL), participated in almost all conferences Union and international scale, was the head and main executor of the first contractual work of the Laboratory (with the Central Committee of the USSR State Planning Commission). In 1968, Leontiev graduated from the graduate school of the Institute of Linguistics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR without interruption from work and defended her thesis “ Semantic analysis and semantic incompleteness of the text ”, receiving a candidate of philological sciences.
Since 1966, work on the MP stopped in the United States (as a result of the conclusions of the special commission on the unprofitability of the MP compared to the usual translation), and soon the work in the USSR was reoriented. To preserve the work of the LMP team, Leontyeva moved to a branch institute as the head of the Laboratory of Information Retrieval Languages (IPL) and acted as a customer for these works. In the mid 70's. Interest in the MP problem has revived; Leontyeva headed the MP Laboratory from the French language at the newly opened All-Union Center for the Translation of Scientific and Technical Documentation (VCP) of the State Committee for Science and Technology and the USSR Academy of Sciences. In 1980 and 1985 were implemented on a SM type computer and delivered to the State Commission versions 1 and 2 of the French-Russian automatic translation system ( FRAP ), which was based on a semantic component.
When personal computers replaced the large and mid-computers and the work on the MP systems in the VTsP was minimized, Leontyeva transferred to work at the INION of the USSR Academy of Sciences, then to the Institute of the USA and Canada RAS (ISCRAN, 1990), where she supervised the linguistic work for the automatic system understanding of political texts (POLYTEXT). In 1990, Leontiev defended her doctoral dissertation on the theoretical foundations of computer science . “The structure of the semantic component in the information model of automatic understanding of the text”, having received a doctorate in technical sciences . In the late 90's. Leontyev together with the team transferred the system (RUSSIA) and the vocabulary of RUSLAN to the Scientific and Research Center of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov.
The transition to work at the Scientific and Research Center of Moscow State University was accompanied by special courses: on the semantic component in automatic text understanding systems (VMiK), dictionaries in automatic text analysis systems (VMiK, philological faculty). Several students of the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics (OTiPL) underwent practical training at LIOMN under the leadership of Leontyeva. The vocabulary created in the Laboratory is always open to the scientific curiosity of students, graduate students and employees of Moscow State University.
