My interests include natural language processing and applying machine learning to various real world problems - most recently in the medical domain. My thesis research was in the realm of question answering. In the past few years I have worked on natural language problems such as question answering, automatic content extraction, detecting semantic coherence, case restoration, machine translation and automatic MT evaluation, as well as multi-agent planning under uncertainty (with Sebastian Thrun). My Ph.D. advisor was Jaime Carbonell.

My Ph.D. thesis focus was "Instance Based Question Answering", a statistical, data-driven approach to question answering in which we learn multiple answering strategies directly from training questions and answers. Thesis committee: Jaime Carbonell (CMU), Eric Nyberg (CMU), Tom Mitchell (CMU), Nanda Kambhatla (IBM TJ Watson)

TA-ed for Fundamental Data Structures and Algorithms (15-211) and Machine Learning (15-681).
