My primary research interests are in Computational Linguistics and Machine Learning. I have primarily focused on natural language processing by creating learning processes that rely on both statistically driven probability models and dynamical systems models. I'm also interested in extending these approaches from natural language to other environments in which the structure of data can be inferred from co-occurrence relationships.
