A former member of UMD's CLIP lab, Alvin Grissom II is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Haverford College, a small, undergraduate liberal arts college in the Philadelphia area. He completed his Ph.D. in 2017 from the University of Colorado Boulder, advised by Jordan Boyd-Graber. He did early work on machine learning-based simultaneous machine translation and verb prediction in verb-final languages. More recently, he has been involved in work on examining pathologies in neural models, examining racially biased language in sports commentary, and verb prediction in verb-final languages. Lately, he is, in general, interested in connecting computational approaches to linguistic insight, including psycholinguistics and the neuroscience of language, and in examining the limits of models in learning and capturing linguistic phenomena.
