LING 50.06 Computational Psych of Language

Computational approaches are becoming increasingly prevalent in cognitive science and psychology as they allow us to leverage advances in robust datasets and computing power to investigate aspects of human cognition and behavior such as language. This course seeks to address the processing of language in the mind and brain through computational modeling. The goal of this course is to provide a broad understanding of research utilizing computational psycholinguistics to investigate how the human mind acquires, stores, and accesses language. This course will also serve as an introduction to methodology utilized in this field and provide hands-on opportunities to produce research focusing on language processing.
