We propose a method for globally coherent text production by guiding a language generator with a committee of discriminators.

We investigate how our usage of verbs implies phsical relations between the objects we talk about.

Disentangling learning and the creative process.

We build a system for programming robots with natural language.

We use semantic parsing to create a better natural language interface for robot programming by demonstration.

We use crowdsourcing with active learning to help robot programming by demonstration.

I build and open-source small tools as I work.

We explore how crowdsourcing can improve goal-based imitation learning in robotics.

I built a tiny open-source web publishing platform to allow me to write and update content as easily as possible.

We use generative classifiers to interactively teach a NAO robot to distinguish antonym pairs of adjectives.
