Mission and values

The mission of the Computational Psycholinguistics Laboratory is to understand and reverse engineer the way language works within the human mind and brain, and to safely endow artificial systems with human-like linguistic abilities. Our research in service of this mission combines linguistic theory, mathematical and computational modeling, analysis of natural language datasets, and experimental methods from psychology and neuroscience.

Our core research group's values include scholarly rigor; open science and scholarship; and diversity, inclusion, equity, and justice. We are committed to combating all other forms of discrimination and injustice in our intellectual work, daily practices, and institutional engagement. You are welcome here.
