Michael White receives two-year NSF award
Congratulations to Michael Whilte, whose project Closing the loop: Inducing high-precision grammars for generating disambiguating paraphrases has been funded by NSF Robust Intelligence Program. The project investigates trainable methods of paraphrasing natural language sentences to effectively disambiguate their meaning. To evaluate the approach while also conducting outreach, the project involves data collection and experimentation at Ohio State's language research pod at the COSI science museum, in addition to the use of Amazon's Mechanical Turk.
