Research
I am a PhD student in the Natural Language and Information Processing group (Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge), working under the supervision of Prof Ted Briscoe.
My general area of research is grammatical error detection and correction for learners of English as a second language. In particular, I am exploring ways of exploiting information from written scripts, improving current approaches and replicating errors artificially to augment available corpora. I am also working actively on improving current evaluation approaches.
