Background
- Research interests include broadening the depth and breadth of human language technology, with a focus on understudied problems in natural language processing (NLP). Current work focuses on eliminating barriers to useful language technology for every living written language, especially lower-resourced and minoritized languages. Previously worked on human-robot interaction and the representation of language in the mind, including language acquisition, processing, and change.
