Graham Neubig

Graham Neubig's research is concerned with language and its role in human communication. In particular, his long-term research goal is to break down barriers in human-human or human-machine communication through the development of natural language processing (NLP) technologies. This includes the development of technology for machine translation, which helps break down barriers in communication for people who speak different languages, and natural language understanding, which helps computers understand and respond to human language. Within this overall goal of breaking down barriers to human communication, he has focused on several aspects of language that both make it interesting as a scientific subject, and hold potential for the construction of practical systems.
