I'm a research scientist at the HLTCOE. My research focuses on generative models of language with a recent focus on Bayesian deep learning methods applied to social media data. I was formerly at the Center for Language and Speech Processing. My thesis developed semi-supervised models to recognize entities in text [1] and identify relationships between them [2, 3], and was co-advised by Jason Eisner and Mark Dredze. In the more distant past, I was an associate scientist at BBN Technologies.

Please see my Google scholar page for an updated list of my publications.
