*Title:        *Relation/Entity-Centric Reading Comprehension

*Abstract: *Constructing a machine that understands human language is one
of the most elusive and long-standing challenges in artificial
intelligence. This thesis addresses this challenge through studies of
reading comprehension with a focus on understanding entities and their
relationships. More specifically, we focus on question answering tasks
designed to measure reading comprehension. We focus on entities and
relations because they are typically used to represent the semantics of
natural language.

*Thesis Advisor:* David McAllester <mcallester at ttic.edu>
