Computational Linguistics Seminar: Dr. Aniello De Santo

The first Computational Linguistics Seminar of the semester will take place on October 27 at 3:30 PM and feature Dr. Aniello De Santo from the University of Utah. An open question at the intersection between theoretical linguistics and psycholinguistics is whether the fine-grained structural analyses posited by generative syntactitians have any relevance to the cognitive processes underlying language processing. In this talk, Dr. De Santo will overview a line of research recasting such question in a computational framework, specifying a transparent (i.e., interpretable) linking hypothesis between grammatical structure and processing complexity. Learn more on their website.
