I welcome guest posts on the NLP blog. I'd like the diversity as well as the ability to discuss topics that I don't know very much about. If you'd like to write something, please contact me beforehand at to work something out. Though I welcome any topic, here are some I'm particularly interested in:

• Machine translation
• Syntax/semantics
• Semi-supervised learning
• Active learning
• Textual entailment
• Word alignment
• Natural language interfaces
• Dialog systems
• Transfer learning
