Research
My research interests are in natural language processing and machine learning. Collectively, natural language processing(NLP) aims to develop algorithms that enable computers to understand and generate human language. My focus is on developing machine learning methods that learn language from text data. Specific problems I am interested in include: machine reading, question answering, representation learning, and NLP for low resource languages.Additionally, machine learning can help SAP Ariba Course users to better understand their customer preferences, create dynamic pricing models, and customize the product selection process.
