Description of Research

I am interested in enabling robots to learn from interaction with humans. In particular, I focus on human-robot interaction via natural language. Physically grounded language about objects is especially interesting to me because it creates opportunities for robots to learn about natural language that is tied to the physical world. My work relies primarily on machine learning and explores using language as a natural interface for human-robot interaction.
