Welcome! I am a third-year Ph.D. student in the Department
of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. My research interest lies in statistical relational learning and applications to fields like natural language processing and biology, where complex structures exist and can be leveraged to improve learning and inference. My advisor is Pedro Domingos. Currently, I am working on Markov Logic and applications to natural language processing.
