Biography
I'm a PhD student in the School of Computer Science and Informatics, in UCD. I graduated from UCD in 2005, with a joint honours degree in Computer Science and Linguistics, taking psychology as a minor subject. My research involves using computational and statistical methods to better understand natural language semantics, specifically the kinds of semantic relations which can hold between nouns and noun phrases. I am also interested in methods of automatically extracting semantic information from large collections of text.
