My research interests include using language processing technologies and machine learning methodologies to investigate and analyze discourse structure and conversational style. The goal is to gain insight into how aspects of the discourse context influence the dynamics of the conversation and the distribution of conversational moves that occur at different levels of abstraction, as well as how that structure is reflected in the style in which those moves are realized in natural language. The two genres of conversational data that I am particularly interested in are asynchronous social media such as web blogs and newsgroup style interactions and synchronous chat dialogues. My advisor is Carolyn Penstein Rosé.
The focus of my previous research was on question answering and information retrieval. In general, the related fields of my research interests include information extraction, natural language processing, social media analysis, and database.
