Teaching & service
These are exciting, head-spinning times to teach and learn computational linguistics, the field behind modern-day AI.
Computational linguistics is undergoing huge disruptions. Like pretty much everyone else, I am trying to navigate the changes that AI is causing in the classroom. Courses that were taught the same way for decades now need major revamps, or are becoming a thing of the past. I am, just like many students, on a journey of scrambling and trying.
Flagship courses
- Computational Linguistics LIN 5770
- Applied Linguistics LIN 3042 (formerly Introduction to Linguistics II; with a computational spin)
- Language and Computation LIN 1xxx (hopefully soon)
I also teach programming for language data and related courses.
Working with students
I enjoy working with students. I regularly supervise and mentor undergraduate research (UROP) and graduate research assistants, and I serve on doctoral committees. Students in my group have co-authored peer-reviewed papers on AI and language. If you are an FSU student, passionate about language and interested in language technology and programming (at any level), I would love to hear from you:
- In your first or second year at FSU, the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) is a great way to work with me. If you are eligible and interested, please reach out.
- In your third or fourth year, or in a master’s programme at FSU, you are welcome to ask about contributing to research, or about doing a PhD in Scientific Computing. Do reach out and tell me what you are curious about.
Not yet at FSU and considering a PhD with me? Please start with the PhD page.
Service
Service to the field matters to me. I review regularly for the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL Rolling Review and the main conferences) and have served on review panels for the National Science Foundation. I am proud to have received an ACL Reviewer Excellence distinction for my reviewing.
