I am a fourth year PhD. student at the University of Maryland, College Park in the department of Computer Science in the amazing CLIP lab with Prof. Philip Resnik. My area of research is computational pragmatics and conversational AI, with a special interest in the role of implicit content. Current NLP methods focus (too) heavily on the surface form of text, but a large part of the communicative intent of humans is implicit. I am interested in understanding how to model and interpret these implicit aspects of human communication, with specific applications in modeling common ground in conversations, and understanding the role of implicit content in text.
