Abstract

The best aspect of a research environment, in my opinion, is the abundance of bright people with whom you argue, discuss, and nurture your ideas. I thank all of the people at Penn and elsewhere who have given me the feedback that has helped me to separate the good ideas from the bad ideas. I hope that Ihave kept the good ideas in this thesis, and left the bad ideas out! Iwould like toacknowledge the following people for their contribution to my education: I thank my advisor Mitch Marcus, who gave me the intellectual freedom to pursue what I believed to be the best way to approach natural language processing, and also gave me direction when necessary. I also thank Mitch for many fascinating conversations, both personal and professional, over the last four years at Penn. I thank all of my thesis committee members: John La erty from Carnegie Mellon University, Aravind Joshi, Lyle Ungar, and Mark Liberman, for their extremely valuable suggestions and comments about my thesis research. I thank Mike Collins, Jason Eisner, and Dan Melamed, with whom I've had many stimulating and impromptu discussions in the LINC lab. Iowe them much gratitude for their valuable feedback onnumerous rough drafts of papers and thesis chapters.
