My research focuses on the computational foundations of intelligent behavior. We develop theories and systems pertaining to intelligent behavior using a unified methodology -- at the heart of which is the idea that learning has a central role in intelligence.

In doing that we pursue several interrelated lines of work that span several aspects of this problem -- from theoretical questions in learning, knowledge representation and reasoning to experimental paradigms and large scale system development -- all pertain to the idea that learning is of prime importance in performing knowledge intensive inferences and use the natural language domain as the main application area.
