About
I do Natural Language Processing on corpus speech data. My areas of interest include use of linguistic strctures in conjunction with deep learning methods, acoustic language modeling, and NLP in general for low-resource language tasks, especially for languages without orthographic forms. I believe that prosody is an exciting and underexplored frontier for the advancement of the state-of-the-art in deep learning for natural language understanding.
