    There are multiple coreference resolution metrics for measuring the quality of a coreference resolution system. We independently defined a yardstick to assess quality of the output of a system. This yardstick was validated with a human study. Performance of each metric v.s. quality of output was evaluated against this yardstick, and recommendations about quality of metrics themselves were made.

    Research Assistant

    Worked on using unsupervised word sense disambiguation to improve information retrieval. e.g. knowing whether 'bank' means financial institution or a river bank can improve ranking of documents in a search engine. Worked on models to do such a disambiguation automatically and in a unsupervised manner. First project was to validate improvement in information retrieval (i.e. ranking of documents), if at the query level, non-compositional phrases are identified. e.g. 'hot dog' is non-compositional phrase which is different from a 'dog' that is 'hot'. We identified and demonstrated that identification of such phrases improves document rankings.
