The Computational Linguistics and Speech Processing (CLaSP) Lab
discussant series brings faculty and students together to talk about ongoing research.

The Linguistic and Assistive Technologies Lab (LATLab)
conducts research in computational linguistics and human-computer interaction, with a primary
focus on accessibility applications and assistive technology for people with disabilities.

Zhong Chen is a computational psycholinguist interested in how readers and listeners understand
sentences instantly and effortlessly. Using both behavior studies and computational modeling
methods, he explores parsing and memory retrieval processes people employ in communication. His
research focuses on cross-linguistically applicable principles in this cognitive process. He has
also worked on language acquisition in different populations, including children, deaf, and
second language learners.

In regular Language Science Research Mixers, faculty and postdoctoral scientists connect to discuss ongoing research projects. Pictured: Hiroko Yamashita.
