Christopher Potts is Professor and Chair of Linguistics at Stanford University, with a courtesy appointment as Professor of Computer Science. He serves as Director Emeritus of the Stanford Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI) and leads the Pragmatic Enrichment & Contextual Interface Lab. His work bridges theoretical linguistics and computational approaches to language understanding. Education: B.A. in Linguistics from New York University (1999) Ph.D. in Linguistics from University of California, Santa Cruz (2003) Potts' research focuses on how computational methods can illuminate linguistic phenomena, particularly in the areas of semantics, pragmatics, and sentiment analysis. His work explores how emotion is expressed in language and how linguistic production and interpretation are influenced by context. He has made significant contributions to understanding conventional implicatures, sentiment analysis frameworks, and the application of neural networks to linguistic problems. His recent work has increasingly focused on the interpretability of large language models and the development of frameworks like DSPy for building reliable AI systems. An analysis of Potts' recent publications reveals a strong trend toward the intersection of linguistic theory and practical AI applications. His work spans theoretical linguistics (e.g., compositionality, preposing constructions), neural network interpretability, and practical NLP systems (e.g., ColBERT, DSPy). The research demonstrates consistent focus on making language models more transparent, controllable, and linguistically informed, with particular attention to how context shapes meaning. Scientific Awards: Best Paper Award at 2024 ACL for 'Mission: Impossible Language Models' Outstanding Paper Award at 2024 ACL for 'CausalGym' ACL Test of Time Award 2023 Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching (2015-2016) Best New Data Set or Resource Award at 2015 EMNLP Potts has secured numerous research grants as PI or Co-PI from major organizations including Google, Amazon, NSF, Office of Naval Research, and Stanford's HAI institute. His current projects focus on evaluation of retrieval-augmented generation systems, LLM-mediated communication in organizations, interpretability techniques for language models, and frameworks like DSPy for building next-generation AI systems. He has mentored numerous researchers who have gone on to make significant contributions in NLP and computational linguistics. As Director of CSLI (2013-2020) and current Chair of Linguistics at Stanford, Potts has played a key leadership role in shaping interdisciplinary research at the intersection of language, computation, and cognition. His Pragmatic Enrichment & Contextual Interface Lab continues to be a hub for innovative research combining formal linguistic theory with cutting-edge computational methods.

Andrés Buxó-Lugo serves as an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University at Buffalo, where he directs the Language Processing and Computation Lab. His research investigates the cognitive mechanisms underlying language production, comprehension, and acquisition with a specialized focus on speech prosody—the rhythm, intonation, and intensity patterns in speech—and their role in human communication. His primary research interests include psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, speech prosody, language production, language comprehension, language acquisition, and computational linguistics. He examines how listeners integrate diverse linguistic cues during speech processing, how individuals learn unfamiliar constructions like non-native pronunciations or novel prosodic patterns, and the cognitive basis of durational changes in speech. His work also explores how communicative context shapes prosodic production and how higher-level linguistic information aids prosodic structure parsing. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2019-2025) reveals consistent interdisciplinary work bridging cognitive science, linguistics, and computational modeling. Key trends include phonological representation studies, speech planning mechanisms, intonation adaptation across talkers, lexical representation structures, and the integration of input expectations in syntactic parsing. His research demonstrates significant methodological diversity, incorporating experimental paradigms, computational modeling, and acoustic analysis to unravel language processing complexities. As director of the Language Processing and Computation Lab at the University at Buffalo, Buxó-Lugo leads research initiatives focused on developing computational models of language processing while investigating the cognitive foundations of speech and prosody through empirical experimentation and theoretical innovation.

Rafał Jończyk is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Pragmatics, Faculty of English, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, where he conducts research at the intersection of psycholinguistics, affective neuroscience, and bilingualism. His work primarily investigates how emotional processing differs between native and second languages using neurophysiological methods, particularly EEG. With a Ph.D. in English Linguistics from Poznań (2015) and postdoctoral experience at Pennsylvania State University, he has established himself as a leading researcher in bilingual emotional processing. His research interests span Affective Neuroscience , Experimental Pragmatics , Psycholinguistics , Bilingualism and Emotion , and the Neurophysiology of Creativity . His methodology heavily relies on EEG to examine language processing, with particular focus on emotional language comprehension and production in bilingual contexts. His work has demonstrated how bilinguals process emotional content differently in their native versus second languages, revealing reduced sensitivity to negative content in the second language. Jończyk's research program has evolved from early work on hemispheric specialization for emotional words to sophisticated EEG studies of emotional anticipation and metaphor processing in bilinguals. His most recent work explores hyperscanning methodologies to study real-time bilingual communication and the neural correlates of creative thinking in bilingual contexts. His publications show a clear progression from foundational studies of emotional word processing to increasingly complex investigations of emotional communication in naturalistic contexts. Cognitive Neuroscience Society Post-doctoral Fellows Award (2018) START scholarship for most talented young Polish scientists (2018) Scholarship from the Minister of Science and Higher Education (2020) Travel Grant Award for International Symposium on Bilingualism (2013) As Principal Investigator, Jończyk leads two major National Science Center projects examining psychophysiological correlates of affective language processing in bilinguals (2016-2018) and neurophysiological correlates of emotional speech production in bilingualism (2021-2025).
