Eunyoung Ha

I am a Ph.D student at NCSU working with Dr. James C. Lester. I joined the Intellimedia research group at NCSU in the summer 2006. My research interests lie in computational linguistics with an emphasis on natural language generation. My Ph.D. work will focus on real-time natural language generation in intelligent tutoring systems using statistical methods for spoken dialogue NLG.
