Ellie Pavlick is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Linguistics at Brown University, where she leads the Language Understanding and Representation (LUNAR) Lab . Her work bridges computational linguistics and cognitive science, focusing on grounded language learning and the structural dynamics of neural language models. PhD from University of Pennsylvania (2017), specializing in paraphrasing and lexical semantics Collaborates with Brown's Robotics, Visual Computing labs, and Cognitive, Linguistic, and Psychological Sciences department Research interests center on cognitively-inspired approaches to language acquisition, analyzing how LLMs and humans encode abstract reasoning and compositional structures. Her lab explores: Grounded language learning in multimodal systems Emergence of compositional behavior in neural networks Interpretability frameworks for black-box AI Key publication areas include: Transformer mechanisms and cognitive modeling Formality and complexity in language systems Relational reasoning and multimodal integration Ellie teaches courses on computational linguistics and human-machine language processing, with a focus on synergies between AI and psychological science.
