I live in Austin, Texas where I am a graduate student in the department of Linguistics at the University of Texas.
My interests in Linguistics include computational linguistics, natural language processing, machine learning, categorial grammar, parsing, grammar induction, discourse semantics, time & temporal semantics, and integrating all of the above into some kind of theoretical whole. Strictly outside of linguistics, I'm interested in logic, philosophy of language, theoretical computer science and category theory. And, beyond all that, I like movies, New Wave and trying to speak French and Chinese.
The aim of the TexTime project is to improve our understanding of and create computational analyses of events and entities evoked in natural language texts and the structure and progression of time over those events. This work will not only contribute to the scientific understanding of how time is conceptualized and communicated in language, but will lead to the development of tools to assist in cross-cultural information exchange.
TexTime is supported by the Morris Memorial Trust Fund through the New York Community Trust.
