I am a postdoc working primarily on the Read the Web project. The goal is to build a web-scale natural language understanding agent that runs forever, building a knowledge base of information from the Internet. Each day it (i) extracts new information, and (ii) does so more accurately than the day before.

Beyond that, this page contains a dearth of information for the moment. Please refer to my old page at UW-Madison until further notice. ;)
