معرفی
Suzanne Stevenson is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. Her primary research focuses on computational linguistics and cognitive science, integrating computational theories with insights from linguistics and psycholinguistics. She investigates how people learn and process language, particularly in the domains of semantics, pragmatics, and word-level meaning. Her work bridges machine learning and cognitive modeling, emphasizing probabilistic approaches to language understanding. She is affiliated with the Cognitive Science Research Community (CoRC) at the University of Toronto.
Research Interests:
- Computational models of language acquisition and processing
- Semantic and syntactic learning from text data
- Cognitive science of word meaning and pragmatics
- Probabilistic and machine learning methods in natural language processing
Publications: Dr. Stevenson has contributed over 80 papers to conferences and journals, focusing on topics like cross-situational word learning, semantic typology, and cognitive modeling of language production. Her recent work explores probabilistic models of perspective-taking and reference generation in language.
