I have a question about your research/software

I am always super-happy to hear about people appreciating my work. If you have a technical question about a research paper, it is best to try to get in contact with all of the authors, so the most appropriate person can respond as quickly as possible.

If you have a question about a software toolkit that I developed, I encourage you to post an issue on GitHub. This will maximize the number of eyes looking at your problem, which can improve the chances of a speedy response.

I am applying to CMU and want to work with you

I'm happy to hear that! I am always looking to work with great and enthusiastic students in my research areas. Also, CMU is a great place to study about natural language processing, computational linguistics, and speech. The Language Technologies Institute (where I am affiliated) has a larger mass of people working on these areas than anywhere in the world, as far as I know, and everyone is doing really interesting stuff.

If this sounds interesting to you, I'd encourage you to apply! Note that in interest of fairness, I usually don't give advice on preparing applications, and all applications are considered equally at admissions time, so regardless of whether you contact me in advance or not, this will not materially increase your chances of getting in to the program. Because of this, I'd encourage you to go ahead and apply for the program, and after you've gotten in, get in contact with me.

Of course, if you have any specific questions not covered above, feel free to get in contact with me, and put "[prospective-student]" at the beginning of the email title so I know that you already understand the stuff here. I will try to respond but apologies in advance if I don't have time to respond to all inquiries.

I am at/accepted to CMU and want to work with you

Great! The great majority of these students are from the LTI PhD program, but I also sometimes work with PhD students from other departments as well. If you are not in the PhD program but would like to do a research project together, please reach out to me with a brief description of your interest and relevant experience and if I and/or the people in my group have any bandwidth I'll be happy to discuss options.

I want to do a research visit/internship with you

I get a lot of email requesting visits from really great and interesting researchers, and I really appreciate your interest. Unfortunately, however, due to my personal time constraints and also the limited number of seats I can allocate for visitors in my lab, it is very rare that I can take external visitors. I get a lot of email requesting short-term or long-term internships (particularly over the summer), so as much as I would like to, I can't respond to all of them personally.
