I am a Ph.D student in the CoAStaL NLP group at the University of Copenhagen working with Prof. Anders Søgaard. My area of research is Natural Language Understanding. I work on improving coreference resolution and other shallow semantic parsing systems using external knowledge and downstream rewards. I am funded by a Google Focused Research Award.
