David McClosky

Starting in (late) October 2009, I will be a postdoc at Stanford NLP working with Chris Manning and Dan Jurafsky. Before that, I was a doctoral student working with Eugene Charniak and Mark Johnson in the Brown Laboratory for Linguistic Information Processing (BLLIP). I'm interested in statistical natural language processing specifically semi-supervised and unsupervised methods (e.g. self-training) for morphology and syntax induction.
