Faculty/Researchers |
 Srini Narayanan is the current leader of the AI Group and an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Institute for Brain and Cognitive Sciences and the Cognitive Science Department. He is interested in computational neuroscience, probabilistic models of language interpretation, graphical models of stochastic grammars, semantics of linguistic aspect, on-line metaphor interpretation, and embodied rationality. |
 Jerome Feldman is a Professor of Computer Science and the former leader of the AI Group.
|
 George Lakoff is a Professor of Linguistics and author of numerous texts including Philosophy in the Flesh, Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things, and Metaphors We Live By. |
 Eve Sweetser is a Professor of Linguistics and director of UCB’s undergraduate Cognitive Science Program. Among her publications are From Etymology to Pragmatics, Spaces, Worlds, and Grammar, co-edited with Gilles Fauconnier, and a forthcoming book, Mental Spaces in Grammar: Conditional Constructions, co-authored with Barbara Dancygier. |
 Lokendra Shastri is a Senior Research Scientist and a member of the A.I. Research group at the International Computer Science Institute; his research interests include neurally motivated computational models of learning, knowledge representation, inference, and language understanding. |
Graduate students |
 Nancy Chang is a computer science graduate student building models of how people learn and use language. |
 Johno Bryant is a computer science graduate student working on construction parsing. |
 Eva Mok is a computer science graduate student working on a computational implementation of mental spaces. She is also interested in how children acquire space-building constructions. |
 Shweta Narayan is a linguistics graduate student. She is carrying out experiments to test the hypothesis of simulation semantics, and to explore how people integrate input from multiple information streams. |
 Steve Sinha is a computer science graduate student tackling automated complex question answering — i.e. Ask Jeeves for real in targeted domains. |
 Ellen Dodge is a linguistics graduate student interested in image schemas, force-dynamics and such. |
 Alberto Amengual is a visiting computer science graduate student from Spain. He is building computational models of infant's attachment and exploratory behaviors, and his broader interests include models of action and social cognition. |
Russ McBride is a PhD candidate in the philosophy department. His dissertation plan at this point is to force open some space for the foundation of NTL work amid the field of philosophical theories of Realism, semantics, and truth. |
