I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I am advised by Maria L. Pacheco. I am affiliated with the Boulder Language and Social Technologies research group (BLAST).
Research Interests
-
Narrative Understanding: My primary research interest lies at the intersection of natural language processing and computational discourse. I work on problems and applications that leverage structured knowledge and social context to analyze narratives, stories, and discourse at scale.
-
Low-Resource Languages: In the recent past, my work has centered around creating tools designed for low-resource languages. I’ve developed models that incorporate explicit linguistic information to enhance performance in downstream tasks such as machine translation and coreference resolution.
