Personal profile
Research interests
I'm a computational linguist and language technology researcher. My research focuses on natural language understanding, reasoning and natural language inference using machine learning. I’m interested in what understanding language consists of, how it can be modelled in AI and how these models can be evaluated.
I also work as a Data & AI consultant and advisor at Accenture. I have over 17 years of experience in research, software engineering, consulting and leadership positions in the industry.
