Who Am I
I'm a student in the LTI, working part-time on a Master's degree. The rest of the time I'm a software engineer at M*Modal in Squirrel Hill. We create software for medical transcription and other medical applications. We have begun fairly recently to do more NLP-related tasks.
I'm in this class because I enjoy learning about various different machine learning applications. Plus, I'm hoping to pick up some new and different techniques to help M*Modal's NLP team.
Project
As of right now, my project will be based around using structured prediction methods to aid in automated extraction of templates for information extraction (very meta).
