• Research

  • My research focus is in Natural Language Processing. I fancy myself an expert in Natural Language Parsing
  • I am particularly interested in how people process language. With this in mind, I have another interest in Hebbian Connectionist systems. I think that this mechanism gives a reasonable (though of course incomplete)explanation on how people think.
  • Natural Language Processing is a sub-field of Artificial Intelligence, and I take a wide interest in other areas of AI, particularly where they apply to Natural Language.
  • I'm the convener for the AI research group .
  • I'm coordinating the AI reading group.
  • You can see some of my papers.

• Recreational Activities and other

  • I've got some pictures of my son Jody
  • I play Ultimate Frisbee. My current team is First Touch (now called Hammerage which I think is a poor name). I'm also a founder of Ann Arbor Ultimate Summer League though I obviously don't play there much now a days.
  • I play a little sloppy rhythm guitar
