I am a researcher in natural language processing. My interests are broad, and I have worked on many scientific, mathematical, and engineering problems related to NLP. Most of my research papers can be found on the ACL Anthology and/ or Semantic Scholar.
Over my career I have held roles in both academia and industry, as an engineer, scientist, lecturer, and as director of artificial intelligence at a startup. I am currently a Reader at the University of Edinburgh, where I am part of the Edinburgh natural language processing group. I am privileged to have advised some immensely talented PhD students, who surely taught me more than I taught them:
- Michael Auli (2012)
- Federico Fancellu (2018)
- Sorcha Gilroy (2019)
- Nikolay Bogoychev (2019)
- Clara Vania (2019)
- Arabella Jane Sinclair (2019)
- Sameer Bansal (2019)
- Naomi Saphra (2021)
- Kate McCurdy
- Seraphina Goldfarb-Tarrant
- Andreas Grivas
I am not accepting new students.
