My research interests are machine learning, machine reading, common sense reasoning, information extraction, knowledge representation, and their applications in AI and NLP.
I work on the Never-Ending Language Learner (NELL), a system which learns to read using a corpus of webpages. At the moment, I work on (something like) coreference resolution and word sense disambiguation. The goal is to allow NELL to represent the distinction between the noun phrases it reads and the real-world concepts they refer to.
I'm also interested in algorithms, complexity theory, and cryptography, though they aren't my primary research interests.
Binary Search Tees is a t-shirt website dedicated to computer science humor.
Millihelens is a website where people upload their pictures and vote for the hottest person. Scores are assigned in millihelens, a unit of beauty equal to the 1/1000th the beauty of Helen of Troy.
Insight Required is a blog devoted to MIT-Mystery-Hunt-style puzzles. I occasionally contribute new puzzles. This puzzle is my personal favorite.
Crush Tracker (previously known as "Secret Crushes") is a Facebook application that allows users to secretly place crushes on their friends. If two people have a crush on each other, the application notifies both of them.
