Research Projects
Our lab conducts research across multiple projects that span computational linguistics, bilingualism, and cognitive science. Below are some of our current and recent projects.
Active Projects
Cross-Linguistic Semantic Analysis
Investigating how semantic representations vary across languages using large-scale corpus analysis and computational models. This project aims to understand the universal and language-specific aspects of meaning.
Bilingual Dyslexia Analysis Algorithm
Developing computational methods to identify and analyze dyslexia patterns in bilingual children across different language pairs. This project combines natural language processing techniques with psycholinguistic assessments to create more accurate screening tools.
Multilingual Language Model Evaluation
Systematic evaluation of large language models across multiple languages and linguistic phenomena. This project aims to identify biases, limitations, and opportunities for improvement in current NLP systems.
Language Acquisition Modeling
Building computational models that simulate language acquisition processes in children and second language learners. This project bridges developmental psychology and computational linguistics.
Completed Projects
Cognitive Load in Simultaneous Interpretation
Investigated cognitive load patterns in professional interpreters using EEG and eye-tracking measures. Developed predictive models of interpretation difficulty.
Bilingual Code-Switching Corpus
Collected and annotated a large corpus of code-switched speech across multiple language pairs. The corpus includes detailed linguistic annotations and demographic information.
