I am a research scientist in the Center for Computational Learning Systems at Columbia University, where I work on problems in Natural Language Processing and related areas. I received my PhD from the University of Chicago Department of Linguistics. From 1985-1990, I worked at the former Paoli Research Center, a logic-programming center with groups in Natural Language Processing, Knowledge Representation and Expert Systems, where we developed a domain independent text-processing shell with applications such as Naval equipment failure reports (DARPA), and medical informatics (National Library of Medicine). In the early 1990s, I joined Kathleen McKeown's Natural Language Processing Group. After an extended sabbatical with forays in theater and fiction, I became a consultant in computational linguistics, with projects at Columbia University, Bellcore, the Educational Testing Service, AT&T Research Labs and the University of Maryland. I have been at the Center for Computational Learning Systems since 2006. Our CCLS Natural Language Processing group is part of Natural Language Processing AT Columbia University, an effort that spans multiple departments and research centers.
