I am a PhD student in the Media Lab researching the intersection of planning and natural language processing. My advisors are Henry Lieberman and Marvin Minsky.

My long-term goal is to make computers understand English in a similar functional capactity as people. This research treads many academic topics: machine reading and story understanding, event structures and lexical semantics, semantic role labeling, statistical relational learning, sequence mining, event recognition and extraction, planning, plan recognition, metacognition and self-modeling.
