My research is on natural language processing and machine learning. My recent work has focused on putting multiple language models in collaboration, across inference, training, and evaluation. Prior research interests include trustworthy AI (at Google AI from 2019-2024) and computational sociolinguistics (at Georgia Tech from 2012-2019, where I founded and led the Computational Linguistics Lab).

My textbook Introduction to Natural Language Processing was published by MIT Press in 2019.
