PhD - Columbia University
Adjoint Professor
Dr. Galley received his B.Sc. in Computer Science from Ecole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne in 2001. He received an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Columbia University in 2002 and 2007. From 2007 to 2010, he was successively a Postdoctoral Scholar and a Research Associate in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University. Since October 2010, he is a Researcher at Microsoft Research in Redmond, WA.
Dr. Galley's research interests are in natural language understanding and generation, with a particular focus on structured prediction problems under linguistically rich models. He is also interested in machine learning and optimization techniques for discrete models, including combinatorial optimization, integer linear programming, and discrete graphical models. His research was primarily applied to statistical machine translation and summarization, and he has also done work in meaning-to-text generation, dialogue and discourse understanding, and syntactic parsing.
Dr. Galley also has a personally maintained website, which can be found at: http://www.ttic.edu/galley
