About
My research is on artificial intelligence: I study techniques to automatically learn commonsense knowledge from text and refine it to be suitable for reasoning.
- Knext: Browse an online knowledge base and download data, knowledge-extraction tools, and related publications.
- Epilog: The Episodic Logic inference engine and related publications.
- Curriculum Vitæ (PDF).
My advisor is Lenhart Schubert. My other doctoral committee members are James Allen (CS), Gregory Carlson (Depts of Linguistics and Philosophy), and Daniel Gildea (CS). Collaborators on my primary research have included Benjamin Van Durme (now at Johns Hopkins HLTCOE), Fabrizio Morbini (now at USC ICT), and Karl Stratos (now at Columbia).
I’m the organizer for SKIL, a weekly lab meeting and reading group. If you’re interested in knowledge, inference, and language, you should attend!
