Associate Dean for Planning Affairs     College of Liberal Arts, Korea University Director     Center for Digital Humanities Associate Professor     Dept. of Linguistics My primary area of research interest includes computational syntax, corpus-based methods for analyzing the language data, and a hybrid approach between them. - Syntax: HPSG, experimental syntax, grammar engineering - Language Resources: deep learning-based linguistic studies, medical and legal NLP I am a Standing Committee member of the international conference on HPSG (Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar). I am the leader of the computational semantics lab. (aka. COSMOS or SongLab) at the Research Institute of Language & Information, Korea University. I worked at Dept. of English Language and Literature, Incheon National University (from August 2015 to February 2019) and a research fellow at the Computational Linguistics Lab of NTU (from August. 2014 to August 2015). I graduated from the University of Washington (Dept. of Linguistics) (Dec. 2013) (with Top Scholar Award and Graduate School Dissertation Fellowship) under the tutelage of Prof. Emily M. Bender. My PhD dissertation was entitled "A Grammar Library for Information Structure". I published a book about modeling information structure in human languages: Modeling information structure in a cross-linguistic perspective (Berlin: Language Science Press). This study builds up an HPSG/MRS-based computational model for approaching information structure from a cross-linguistic perspective. The model improves the performance of multilingual machine translation in terms of speed as well as accuracy. You can see more information about me on my CV [English, Korean].
