| - | My DPhil studies are supported by the EPSRC and a departmental stipend. | + | Before joining the department in Oxford and moving (back) into NLP, I did a couple of other things. I have an MA (oxon.) in Computer Science and an MSc in International Politics. Also, I spent some time with the [[http://ec.europa.eu/|European Commission]] and several years with [[http://www.mckinsey.com/|McKinsey & Company]]. Here is my {{:cv.pdf|CV}}. |
| - | My collaborators include (in no particular order): My supervisors Phil Blunsom and Stephen Pulman. Chris Dyer, Edward Grefenstette, Jacob Andreas, Daniel Bauer, Bevan Jones, David Chiang, Kevin Knight, Kuzman Ganchev, Dipanjan Das, Jason Weston. | + | ===== Activities/News ===== |

| + | * //01 Jul 2014:// I successfully defended my DPhil on //Distributed Representations for Compositional Semantics//. | ||
| + | * //06 Mar 2014:// **Two Long Papers accepted at ACL 2014.** I had two long papers accepted for presentation at the ACL 2014 conference. The first paper will be on semantic frame parsing //Semantic Frame Identification with Distributed Word Representations// (Hermann, Das, Weston and Ganchev), the second is on compositional semantics //Multilingual Models for Compositional Distributional Semantics// (Hermann and Blunsom). | ||
| * //02 Mar 2014:// **Tutorial //New Directions in Vector Space Models of Meaning// at ACL 2014.** Together with Phil Blunsom, Ed Grefenstette and Giorgiana Dinu, I will hold a tutorial on semantic vector space models at the 2014 ACL conference. We will cover recent advances in machine learning and NLP for modelling (compositional) semantics. Links to slides and video will follow after the conference. | * //02 Mar 2014:// **Tutorial //New Directions in Vector Space Models of Meaning// at ACL 2014.** Together with Phil Blunsom, Ed Grefenstette and Giorgiana Dinu, I will hold a tutorial on semantic vector space models at the 2014 ACL conference.
