My research focus is statistical natural language processing,
primarily parsing. Some NLP problems that interest me: parsing, chunking, tagging, language modeling, machine translation, information extraction, text classification, and information retrieval.
Machine learning is an essential part of statistical NLP, and I am interested in many topics in machine learning, including reinforcement learning and semi-supervised learning.
