معرفی
Mark Steedman is Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of Edinburgh's School of Informatics, with adjunct appointment at University of Pennsylvania. His research spans computational linguistics, AI, and cognitive science, focusing on Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) and its applications.
His research examines:
- Combinatory Categorial Grammar parsing and semantics
- Language model capabilities and limitations
- Cross-linguistic semantic inference
- Brain modeling of language processing
Recent publications analyze hallucination sources in large language models, cross-linguistic entailment graphs, and brain-computer parallels in structure-building. He develops computational models integrating symbolic and distributional approaches to semantics.
Honors include ACL Lifetime Achievement Award (2018) and George E. Davis Medal (2001). He serves on editorial boards of major linguistics journals and has authored influential books including 'The Syntactic Process' and 'Taking Scope'.
