My research focuses on theoretical and applied questions in the processing of natural language. Inherently, linguistic communication involves the resolution of uncertainty over a potentially unbounded set of possible signals and meanings. How can a fixed set of knowledge and resources be deployed to manage this uncertainty? To address these questions I use a combination of computational modelling and psycholinguistic experimentation. This work furthers our understanding of the cognitive underpinning of language processing, and helps us design models and algorithms that will allow machines to process human language.
In July 2009, at the European Summer School for Logic, Language, and Information (ESSLLI), I teach an advanced course in Language and Computation entitled Computational Psycholinguistics. The course website with syllabus is here. If you're planning on being in Bordeaux, France during 20-24 July, come check it out!
