about

I am a final year Masters student in Computer Science at Columbia University in New York. My advisor is Dr. Owen Rambow . My research interests are primarily in machine learning. I find the application of machine learning to solve problems in natural language particularly interesting.

My current projects involve work in semantic parsing and structured prediction. Last year, I worked on detection of influence and power in online social media with Dr. Rambow.
