Hello! I am a second-year Master's student in the Computational Linguistics group at the University of Toronto. I am supervised by Gerald Penn.
Here is a bibliography of papers I have at least skimmed through most of, that gives an impression of my current research area.
Research Interests
- Parsing and applications of parsing in freer word order languages
- Statistical models of parsing
- Natural language generation and summarization
Education
| 2008-current | M.Sc. in computer science at the University of Toronto |
| 2004-2008 | B.Sc. (Honours) in computer science, minors in linguistics and German at the University of British Columbia.
Honours thesis: Comparing Abstractive and Extractive Summarization of Evaluative Text: Controversiality and Content Selection, supervised by Giuseppe Carenini. [pdf]
