Research interests

My current research interests are in human-computer interaction and natural language processing, including

• automatic text generation,
• communicative planning/design and media selection/coordination in multimedia and multimodal interfaces,
• computational models of human-human dialogue strategies and conversational interaction,
• computational cognitive models of human discourse processing and human-computer interaction,
• empirical and automated methods of knowledge acquisition for dialogue and text processing,
• computational applications of theories of discourse, argumentation, and pragmatics (and the extension of these theories to other media),
• computer-generated interactive narrative and believable agents, and
• related areas of artificial intelligence such as planning and plan recognition, multiagent systems, and machine learning.
