Lab Manager, Junior Lab Associate, NYC
I am a recent graduate of New York University, earning a BA in Language and Mind. My research focuses on the contribution of words to phrase and sentence-level representations. I worked as an undergraduate research assistant for a PhD student in the NeLLab and we found that word representations reactivate to combine across inferential and syntactic distance. I received DURF funding and was awarded as a James A. Shea Research Scholar for applying this work to language models, demonstrating that language model interpretations of long-distance composition vary in ways that do not resemble human behavior.
My current work uses information surprisal to describe stages of phrase composition.
