Profile My research focus is on natural language procesing, which aims at making computers understand natural language. In particular, we are mainly working on text analysis technologies such as syntactic/semantic parsing and linguistic resources for them, as well as natural language applications including grounding, machine translation, question answering, and dialog systems.
