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 affliated 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, computational discourse, and computational social science. I work on problems and applications that leverage structured knowledge and social context to analyze narratives and discourse at scale. Currently, I’m utilizing graph neural networks to model news articles, aiming to analyze how issues are framed across various political perspectives.
-
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.
