My group conducts research in natural language processing (NLP), an area of artificial intelligence in which we build computational models of human languages such as English or French. The goal of our research is to develop useful and beneficial NLP systems that can support people in accomplishing complex tasks.

In our lab, we investigate machine learning techniques for making predictions about language and analyze NLP systems, datasets, and tasks using insights from linguistics and psychology. We not only produce state-of-the-art systems for natural language generation according to existing benchmarks, we also propose challenge datasets and evaluation measures. We also like thinking about the broader context of NLP technologies in education, health, and language revitalization.
