Biography

Baldridge is a computational linguist whose research focuses on probabilistic computational models of syntax and discourse structure and machine learning for natural language processing in general.  His most recent research is on evaluating the effectiveness of active learning in real-life annotation scenarios (e.g., language documentation) and hierarchical Bayesian models for supertagging, parsing and discourse structure. Baldridge won the 2003 Beth Dissertation Prize from the European Association for Logic, Language, and Information and he is a recipient of best paper awards from the European Association for Computational Linguistics and the North American Association for Computational Linguistics.
