Novemeber 2005: I successfully defended my thesis, A multi-strategy approach to parsing of grammatical relations in child language transcripts.

My thesis research focused on syntactic analysis of CHILDES data, but the main parsing issues are applicable to the general problem of parsing natural language. See my thesis summary and defense slides.
