I work in the area of intelligent computer processing of human language (natural language processing, or NLP). My current research is concerned with: practical natural language parsing, parser evaluation, acquisition of lexical information from corpora, automatic generation of text from semantic representations, sentiment analysis, clinical text mining, and other applications of natural language processing to real-world tasks.
Research projects and workshops
Quick links to publicly-available NLP resources: the RASP parsing toolkit, parser efficiency comparison data, English parser evaluation corpus, morphological and orthographic tools for English, the LKB System, the Alvey NL Tools.
Current and recent responsibilities: Secretary of ACL SIGPARSE Special Interest Group on Parsing, CICLing 2012 invited speaker, ACL 2011 workshops co-chair, TSD 2010 invited speaker
