LIN14: Computational Cognitive Models of Meaning


About

We study and develop cognitively plausible computational representations of linguistic meaning and algorithms to process those representations.

Open to New People

Active since: 2021

  • Cornell University
  • University of Rochester

Collaborative Goals

Our primary goal is to share information and develop research collaborations between research groups in central NY that study linguistic meaning using computational and experimental methods, especially those that focus on events as a central conceptual framework.

To this end, we organize an annual workshop, which enables all participants to discuss ongoing work in this area, provides a venue for students to network with their peers, and facilitates collaboration between students and faculty in the region.
