In my research I develop machine learning and language technology. Most of my work involves the intersection of the two fields: computers that learn to understand and generate natural language. The computational models that this work produces have all kinds of applications in other areas of scholarly research as well as in society and industry. They also link to theories and developments in linguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and sociolinguistics. I love multidisciplinary collaborations to make advances in all these areas.
