Research Interests
I study methods for extracting semantic representations from natural-language text. Specifically, I'm working on a scheme for annotating the cause-and-effect relations stated by a text, and systems for extracting and classifying them automatically. I'm particularly interested in ways to incorporate linguistic analysis and insights into natural language technologies, especially the principles of
Construction Grammar.
