Biography
I am currently a Chancellor’s Fellow at the University of Edinburgh.
My research focuses on reasoning about and understanding implicit meaning in language. This includes generics, non-monotonic reasoning, commonsense reasoning, and neuro-symbolic systems that incorporate ideas from linguistics.
I received my PhD in computer science from Columbia University where I worked with Prof. Kathleen McKeown. My thesis, “Understanding and Reasoning about Implicit Meaning in Language” focused on stance detection, as well as generics. During my PhD, I interned at AI2 (on the MOSAIC team, working with Jena Hwang and Chandra Bhagavatula) and at Amazon Science (working with Miguel Ballesteros and Shuai Wang). Prior to Columbia, I worked on commonsense reasoning as an undergraduate researcher with Prof. Yejin Choi at the University of Washington.
