Welcome! I am a postdoctoral research associate at Carnegie Mellon-Qatar. My current research is multi-lingual processing and I collaborate with Kemal Oflazer and Noah Smith and his ARK research group. We currently work on statistical modeling of several language processing tasks such as named entity extraction, parsing and morphological analysis.

I received my PhD from the Intelligent Systems Program at University of Pittsburgh, USA where I worked with Rebecca Hwa. My dissertation was titled Locating and Reducing Translation Difficulty. This was a statistical framework to find the problematic outputs of a machine translation system and adapting the MT system to reduce those problems. Please feel free to visit my publication list.

I follow independent cinema, classical and film music in my leisure time
