Christopher Clark

I am a fourth year graduate student at the University of Washington, where I am advised by Luke Zettlemoyer. I am interested in question answering, and more generally in training models to reason about text. My recent work has been motivated by considering the limitations of what models learn from current question answering datasets.

Before coming to the University of Washington I was a Predoctoral Young Investigator at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, and before that I got a Masters at the University of Edinburgh.
