I work in the area of intelligent computer processing of human language (natural language processing, or NLP). My current research is concerned with: practical natural language parsing, parser evaluation, acquisition of lexical information from corpora, automatic generation of text from semantic representations, sentiment analysis, and other applications of natural language processing to real-world tasks.
Research projects and workshops
Quick links to publicly-available NLP resources: the RASP parsing toolkit, parser efficiency comparison data, English parser evaluation corpus, morphological and orthographic tools for English, the LKB System, the Alvey NL Tools.
Current and recent responsibilities: Secretary of ACL SIGPARSE Special Interest Group on Parsing, CICLing 2012 invited speaker, ACL 2011 workshops co-chair, TSD 2010 invited speaker, London Technology Network business fellow.
Best paper awards: `Finding predominant word
senses in untagged text' at ACL 2004
and `High efficiency realization
for a wide-coverage unification grammar' at IJCNLP 2005
and
`Text categorization for improved priors of word meaning' at CICLing
2007 (3rd Best Paper)
