Research interests
My research is situated at the intersection of information science and computational linguistics. At a theoretical level, it focuses on the attempt to understand properties of human language such as ambiguity, irregularity and redundancy and their impact on the exchange of information among people and between people and computers. At the applied level, it focuses on the problem of how to use computer technology to improve people's access to information stored in the form of language.
