معرفی
Umut Özge is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Cognitive Science, Graduate School of Informatics at Middle East Technical University (METU). His research focuses on formal and computational semantics, particularly in natural language understanding. He leads the Laboratory for Formal and Computational Semantics at METU’s Informatics Institute. Özge teaches advanced courses such as COGS 501: Linguistics and Formal Languages, COGS 502: Symbols and Programming, and COGS 543: Computational Semantics. His work bridges syntax, semantics, and discourse analysis with a focus on Turkish and cross-linguistic studies.
Research interests include the computational modeling of linguistic phenomena, formal semantics, and the interface between syntax and semantics. He has published widely on topics such as Turkish comparatives, discourse structure, and inferable indefinites. His GitHub repositories reflect contributions to computational linguistics tools like SmallWorld, a parser for Combinatory Categorial Grammar.
No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided texts. His academic contributions are centered on theoretical linguistics with a computational lens, emphasizing algorithmic structures in cognition and formal language systems.
