I work on machine translation as a Research Associate at the University of Edinburgh with Philipp Koehn and as a PhD student with Carnegie Mellon advised by Alon Lavie.

My recent papers cover three areas:
Hypergraph search
 is a faster and more accurate alternative to cube pruning.
KenLM
 estimates and queries language models using less time and memory.
MEMT
 won best system combination in 8 of 10 tracks of the 2011 WMT evaluation.

I like travel, C++, math homework, and networking.
