Kyle Rawlins

Kyle Rawlins is an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University. His research focuses on natural language semantics and pragmatics, integrating theoretical linguistics with computational modeling and experimental data. He teaches courses such as the NASSLLI 2022 summer school course on implementing semantic compositionality, using Python and Jupyter notebooks to explore formal semantics. Rawlins develops tools like the Lambda Notebook project to facilitate computational implementations of linguistic theories.

His work emphasizes the interplay between theoretical linguistics and computational methods, aiming to bridge gaps between formal semantic analysis and practical implementation. Recent updates include course materials for NASSLLI 2022 and website overhauls to better reflect his current research interests.
