Research
My interests lie in the area of natural language processing. My research has two dominant themes: (1) developing new probabilistic techniques that automatically infer accurate models of natural language phenomena; (2) building scalable, robust systems that use these models to solve complex real-world language processing tasks. Current projects include:
- Modeling Document-Level Structure (EMNLP 2008a , JAIR 2009c , ACL 2009c , EMNLP 2010b )
- Unsupervised Multilingual Learning and Decipherment of Ancient Scripts (ACL 2008a, JAIR 2009b, ACL 2009a, ACL 2010a, ICML 2010)
- Imperative Language Grounding ( ACL 2009b , ACL 2010b )
