I am a Senior Research Scientist in the Amazon Alexa team based in Edinburgh (UK). I am working on Responsible AI topics including fact verification. Previously I have worked on question answering and knowledge extraction (entity linking, relation extraction)
Before joining Amazon I was a postdoc at the Cognitive Computation Group at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I worked with Dan Roth on extending Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) and Cindy Fisher on computational models of language acquisition.
Previously, I was a PhD student in Computational Linguistics under Mark Steedman and Sharon Goldwater . My PhD research focused on the underlying structure of syntactic categories (not necessarily Parts-Of-Speech) across languages and how (or if) they relate to semantic primitives.
