I’m the RCA Professor of Artificial Intelligence in the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania, where I also hold an appointment as Professor of Linguistics. My research interests include parsing and cognitively plausible models for automatic acquisition of linguistic structure, as well as statistical NLP in general. I’m a founding fellow of the ACL, and was President of the ACL in 1997. I’m also a fellow of the American Association of Artificial Intelligence, and serve as chair of the advisory board of the Center of Excellence in Human Language Technologies at Johns Hopkins University. I was the principal investigator for the Penn Treebank Project through the mid-1990s, was part of the OntoNotes text annotation effort within the DARPA GALE project, and was recently the PI on an ARO funded MURI project investigating natural language interfaces for autonomous robots.
