Education and career

Cardie is a 1982 graduate of Yale University, majoring in computer science. After working for several companies as a computer programmer, [2] she returned to graduate study in the late 1980s and completed her Ph.D. at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1994. [1] [4] Her dissertation, Domain-Specific Knowledge Acquisition for Conceptual Sentence Analysis, was supervised by Wendy Lehnert. [2]

She has been on the Cornell University faculty since 1994, initially in computer science and since 2005 also in information science. She was an assistant professor (1994–2000) and associate professor (2000–06), before being promoted to a full professorship in 2006. In 2007 she founded a start-up company, Appinions, and she was its chief scientist until 2015. [2] Her doctoral students at Cornell have included Amit Singhal and Kiri Wagstaff. [4]

Recognition

Cardie became a Fellow of the Association for Computational Linguistics in 2016. [1] She was elected as an ACM Fellow in 2019 "for contributions to natural language processing, including coreference resolution, information and opinion extraction". [3] She was named to the 2021 class of Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. [5]
