I've had a few things published along the way, mostly stuff I've done as a graduate student. My area of research is in natural language processing, and the publications below represent my two main areas of specialization over the past few years: reading comprehension and automatic semantic lexicon generation.
- Thelen, M. (2002) "Simultaneous Generation of Domain-Specific Lexicons for Multiple Semantic Categories", M.S. thesis (PostScript).
- Thelen, M. and Riloff, E. (2002) "A Bootstrapping Method for Learning Semantic Lexicons using Extraction Pattern Contexts" (PostScript, PDF), Proceedings of the 2002 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP 2002).
- Breck, E., Light, M., Mann, G., Riloff, E., Brown, B., Anand, P., Rooth, M., and Thelen, M., (2001) "Looking Under the Hood: Tools for Diagnosing Your Question Answering Engine" (PostScript) ACL-2001 Workshop on Open-Domain Question Answering.
- Riloff, E. and Thelen, M., (2000) "A Rule-based Question Answering System for Reading Comprehension Tests" (PostScript) ANLP/NAACL-2000 Workshop on Reading Comprehension Tests as Evaluation for Computer-Based Language Understanding Systems.
