Education

Teaching

  • During the Spring 2011 semester I taught 15-453 Formal Languages, Automata and Computation. Slides I used are available here.

  • During the Fall 2011 semester, I taught 15-211 Fundamental Algorithms and Data Structures

  • During the Spring 2012, semester, I co-taught a mini course 15-384 with Behrang Mohit on Text Processing.

Research

  • I am mainly interested in Natural Language Processing. These days I am working on statistical machine translation into morphologically complex languages. See publications below for further information.
