#Introduction with #Hashtags

#Hi, I work on #ComputationalLinguistics (#CompLing): I develop models of human #LanguageLearning and #LanguageUse, and I test them on #RealWorldData. One focus of my work has been on #Lexical #Semantics, looking at how a word's #Meaning can be learnt from #Context, and indeed what kind of #MeaningRepresentation to use in the first place. This work is #Interdisciplinary, drawing on #Linguistics #PhilosophyOfLanguage #CognitiveScience #MachineLearning
