My research interests are in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning, focusing on graphical models for structured prediction and Bayesian inference.
Applications include automatic machine translation, parsing, language modelling, summarisation and information extraction.
Before September 2009, I worked at Edinburgh University as a Research Fellow for Mirella Lapata on models of text rewriting (summarisation, sentence compression and translation). Before that (2003 - 2006) I
did my PhD at Melbourne University supervised by Steven Bird and
Miles Osborne on developing novel
approximate inference algorithms for Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) to enable
their application to various NLP tasks.
