I'm a researcher in computational psycholinguistics: I work on the relation between form and meaning and on linking language acquisition and language evolution. I'm also interested in data science: I
# RESEARCH INTERESTS * Cognitive stuff: Computational models of language acquisition, Conceptual representations, Semantics, Category learning, Language change A bunch of interesting questions to which I'd love to find an answer: How do children learn their native languages? What information do they rely upon? Which learning models do the job? How do they form and represent concepts and categories? How do they understand meaning? What is the relation between language and perceptual information in creating m
* Data stuff: user intent prediction, sequence modeling, computational social sciences Problems I'd like to collaborate on: Deciding whether users are going to perform a certain action on a website or not depending on how they interact with the website, network relations and interface influences in online elections, modeling labor market trajectories using sequence modeling and language models to learn a grammar of unemployment, identify people at risk of dropping out of school, therapies or the like using
