Directs the IIT Linguistic Cognition Laboratory working on a variety of research projects; focuses on Computational Stylistics, devising computational methods for capturing aspects of linguistic style variation, such as that between different individuals or groups of people.
Background
Research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning and computational linguistics, particularly in extracting and using non-referential semantic properties of text, such as rhetorical organization and style. Interested in how machine learning techniques can help to capture large-scale linguistic properties of texts that go beyond the word or clause level.
