About my research group

• You and Your Research:
• You and your work need to be competitive with graduate students in top universities in the US and Europe. This requires hard work.
• You will need to read many research papers.
• You will need to write many research papers.
• You need to know how to program and like to program. You will program. Quite a lot.
• I will help you to do good work. Usually I brainstorm ideas with my students, program alongside them, and help them to write papers.
• My research field is applied:
• I do research in applied machine learning (ML), with the main application area being natural language processing (NLP).
• You need to be curious about at least two of: (1) human language; (2) getting insights from data; (3) machine learning.
• I am open to working on interesting ML problems outside the above. But you will have to convince me they are interesting.
