About Me
My current research focuses on addressing difficult and open problems in Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing (NLP), including deep learning, common-sense reasoning (CSR), language understanding, causality, and dialogue. My prior work has consisted of developing pioneering systems to successfully resolve difficult CSR tasks, proposing protocols and evaluation metrics to better gauge model performance, as well as creating more challenging and extensive CSR benchmarks towards the pursuit of both intelligent and interpretable machines.
