معرفی
Andy Kehler is a Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), where he directs one of the Computational Linguistics Labs. His research focuses on pragmatics, discourse interpretation, and the computational modeling of linguistic phenomena. He has held academic roles including Chair of the Linguistics Department (2009–2014) and Director of Graduate Studies (2016–2018).
He teaches courses such as 'Making and Breaking Codes' and 'The Language Code,' and advises graduate students in computational and theoretical linguistics. His lab explores interdisciplinary topics like discourse coherence, coreference resolution, and ellipsis, blending theoretical, computational, and psycholinguistic approaches.
- Editorial Roles: Academic Editor at PLOS ONE, Review Editor at Frontiers in Language Sciences, and Associate Editor at Journal of Logic and Computation.
- Teaching: Extensive record since 2000, including courses on pragmatics, computational linguistics, and semantics.
Research Interests: Explores how discourse coherence drives linguistic interpretation, with emphasis on anaphora, ellipsis, and Bayesian models of pronoun resolution. His work bridges formal semantics, computational methods, and experimental psycholinguistics.
Recent Articles: Focus on ellipsis theory, LLMs' pragmatic competence, and Bayesian models of German pronouns. These studies advance understanding of discourse structure and computational linguistics applications.
Awards & Grants: Not explicitly listed, but his editorial roles and extensive publications reflect scholarly recognition. Active in securing grants for lab research and student support.
Labs/Teams: Leads UCSD Computational Linguistics Lab, collaborating on projects like LLM analysis and discourse modeling. Engages with international academic networks through invited talks and visiting fellowships.
