I’m a Senior Research Scientist at Semantic Machines, working to build dialogue systems that you can actually have a conversation with.
Previously, I received my PhD in EECS at Berkeley, working in the Berkeley NLP Group with Dan Klein. Before that, I was an undergrad in Symbolic Systems at Stanford University, working in the Stanford NLP Group with Dan Jurafsky and Chris Manning.
