RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Computational Linguistics Lab Jan 2020 - June 2020 Undergraduate Researcher UC San Diego
Faculty Advisors: Andrew Kehler and Leon Bergen
Worked on research investigating the ability of neural language models to perform incremental discourse interpretation.
Developed and implemented an experimental framework for querying pronoun interpretation preferences in autoregressive, transformer-based models.
Analyzed performance of models on stimuli against established experimental results to study the degree to which the pronominalization biases exhibited by the models were mediated by verb semantics and coherence relations.
