Example domain paragraphs

I am a Ph.D. student at the CDS at NYU , where I am advised by Tal Linzen and supported by an NSF graduate research fellowship and by AI2 .

My research leverages linguistic and computational theory to better understand deep learning. I've worked on characterizing the computational power of transformers for representing linguistic structure and solving reasoning problems. I've also analyzed the types of semantics that can be learned distributionally, i.e., the "language decipherment problem" faced by today's large language models.
