I am currently a Research Scientist at Google Research, where I work on Google Translate. Previously, I finished my Ph.D. at University of Pennsylvania under Dan Roth. My thesis, “Methods For Text Summarization Evaluation,” can be accessed here.

My research interests are primarily in natural language processing, particularly on text generation and evaluation, both automatic and human-based.

Check out some of my latest work on

• incorporating question-based signals into a summarization model (pre-print)
• a question-based automatic summarization evaluation metric (TACL 2021)
• a proposal of statistical methods for meta-evaluating metrics (TACL 2021)

I am also the developer of two open-source libraries:

• Repro (GitHub), a package for improving the reproducibility and usability of code released by researchers using Docker.
• SacreROUGE (GitHub, Paper), a library that provides standardized implementations of summarization evaluation metrics and methods for meta-evaluating metrics.
