Welcome! I am research project scientist at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar. My current research is multi-lingual processing and I collaborate with Kemal Oflazer , Noah Smith and Nizar Habash on several projects releated to Arabic Natural Language Processing.

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
