Christopher Clark

I am a young investigator at the PRIOR team in AI2. I recently got my PhD from the University of Washington advised by Luke Zettlemoyer.

I am interested in machine learning and natural language processing. My recent work has been on preventing models from adopting naive heuristics that happen to work well on the training data, but are not fundamental to the target task. For example, preventing models from learning that sentences containing the word 'not' contradict any other sentence when doing textual entailment.
