I'm a third year PhD candidate in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, working on Statistical Machine Translation, under the supervision of Philipp Koehn and Miles Osborne. I am interested in richer translation models and the task of parameter estimation for such models.

Before joining the StatMT group, I did some work with Frank Keller on crosslinguistic probabilistic parsing. For the purpose of this research, I developed a French language package extension for Dan Bikel's truly excellent multilingual statistical parser. The French Treebank we used is the Corpus Le Monde developed by Anne Abeille et al. at the Universite de Paris VII. A license can be obtained by emailing Dr Abeille.
