Bio

I am an Associate Professor in the Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. I am also a PECASE Awardee and an Allen Distinguished Investigator. Previously, I did postdoctoral research at the University of Edinburgh and was a Ph.D. student at MIT.

Research

My current research is in the intersections of natural language processing, machine learning, and decision making under uncertainty. I am particularly interested in designing learning algorithms for recovering representations of the meaning of natural language text. For more research details, please see my publications.
