I'm a 3rd-year (3rd-year already?) PhD student in the Linguistics Department [please, don't mess with Flames] at THE Ohio State University specialising in Computational Linguistics.
My main research foci are (in descending order of the amount of guilty pleasure I derive from them): machine translation (translation models, evaluation, etc.), machine learning for NLP, parsing, supertagging, using reeeeealy big corpora to induce semantactic systems (a phrase I coined, I think), realisation and generation. I also dabble in (Combinatory) Categorial Grammars, and other forms of formal semantax. (Semantax? Yeah, semantax.)
My advisor is Chris Brew who has one foot each in the Linguistics and Computer Science departments. I also work with Mike White (Linguistics), Detmar Meurers (Linguistics) and Simon Dennis (Psychology).Here's a picture of my wife, Melanie, and daughter, Chloé. Here's the three of us together.
