Bio

I am Google Fellow at Google DeepMind, working to put generative AI into practice. Before that, I led language AI and ML teams at Google Research from 2008 to 2022. Before Google, I had been chair of the Computer and Information Science department of the University of Pennsylvania, head of the Machine Learning and Information Retrieval department at AT&T Labs, and had research and management positions at SRI International. I have a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Edinburgh in 1982, over 120 research publications on computational linguistics, machine learning, bioinformatics, speech recognition, and logic programming, and several patents.  I am a fellow of AAAI, ACM, ACL, and AAAS; member of the American Philosophical Society, of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and of the National Academy of Engineering; and past president of the Association for Computational Linguistics.


Research Interests

I'm also broadly interested in linguistics, cognitive science, biology, and programming languages, and I've published in or around some of those areas.
