About me
I'm a computer scientist working on Machine Learning and its applications to tasks related to modeling human language and vision.
Specifically, I am interested in building large-capacity models for both multimodal understanding and multimodal generation.
I have done research in areas such as machine learning, natural language understanding and generation, neural & statistical machine translation, syntactic and discourse parsing,
question answering, automatic summarization, evaluation methodologies and quality prediction for textual structured output.

I am currently a research scientist at Google DeepMind.
I have also been a member of Google Research and a member of the Google Translate group in Mountain View, CA.
Before joining Google, I was a research scientist at SDL Language Technologies
unit after the acquisition of Language Weaver Inc.,
a Los Angeles--based start-up and the first company to successfully commercialize Statistical Machine Translation.
Prior to that, I received a Ph.D. in Computer Science
from USC, while doing research at the Information Sciences Institute (ISI) with Daniel Marcu and
Kevin Knight in the Intelligent Systems Division.
