About
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Logic, Language, and Computation at the University of Amsterdam. My interests lie at the intersection of natural language processing and probabilistic modelling. My research is part of the European UTTER project.
Current Interests
- Probabilistic Modelling
- Natural Language Generation
- Minimum Bayes Risk
