I am a graduate student in the Language Technologies institute which is part of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. I work with Prof. Eric Nyberg on building an open domain framework for Question Answering systems which includes research in information extraction/retrieval and applied machine learning. My other academic interests include active learning, semantic text processing and statistics.
