Alumni

PhD

• Michael Auli, PhD 2012. Now at Facebook AI Research.
  During our collaboration Michael developed the most accurate known parser for combinatory categorial grammar, a linguistically expressive grammar formalism. After graduation Michael began working on neural translation, and is one of the key researchers behind Facebook's convolutional machine translation system. -
• Federico Fancellu, PhD 2018. Primary supervisor: Bonnie Webber.
  Federico developed state-of-the-art models for computational detection of negation in English and Chinese. He now a postdoc with my colleague Mirella Lapata and we continue to collaborate with Sorcha Gilroy on semantic parsing.
