SHORT BIO
I am an assistant professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, at the University of Washington. I'm also an adjunct professor at the Language Technologies Institute at CMU. I work on Natural Language Processing–a subfield of computer science focusing on computational processing of human languages. I am particularly interested in hybrid solutions at the intersection of machine learning and theoretical or social linguistics, i.e., solutions that combine interesting learning/modeling methods and insights about human languages or about people speaking these languages.
Much of my research group's work focuses on NLP for social good, multilingual NLP, and language generation. This research is motivated by a unified goal: to extend the capabilities of human language technology beyond individual populations and across language boundaries, thereby enabling NLP for diverse and disadvantaged users, the users that need it most.
Previously, I was an assistant professor in the Language Technologies Institute, School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, and before that a postdoc in the Stanford NLP Group. I got my PhD from CMU.
