PICoL Lab

Ethan Gotlieb Wilcox

Assistant Professor, Director

Ethan Gotlieb Wilcox is an Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics and the director of PICoL. He is interested in how we learn language from limited inputs and how we process it in real-time.

Wes Scivetti

PhD Student

Wesley Scivetti is a 3rd year Ph.D. candidate in Computational Linguistics. His research centers on the linguistic interpretability of language models, with particular focus on using Construction Grammar to understand language model performance.

Kohei Kajikawa

PhD Student

Kohei is a second-year PhD student. His research lies at the intersection of psycholinguistics and computational linguistics. He investigates human sentence processing through the lens of information theory and syntactic structures.

Xiulin Yang

PhD Student

Xiulin Yang is a third-year PhD student. Her research interests include language modeling, language universals, (compositional) generalization of neural networks, LLMs, and semantics.

Dan DeGenaro

PhD Student

Dan DeGenaro is a rising 2nd-year PhD student in the CS department. He is interested in low-resource machine translation and speech recognition, multilingual NLP, and information-theoretic approaches to language modeling and linguistics

Hyun Min

PhD Student

Hyun is a third-year PhD student in the computational concentration from Busan, Korea. He is interested in robust representations of structure in language and how humans and statistical learners predict structure and resolve ambiguities.

Devika Tiwari

PhD Student

Devika Tiwari is a third-year PhD student in Computational Linguistics and Cognitive Science. She is interested in how we can use computational tools to understand how language is processed in the mind and brain. She is also working on topics in neurolinguistics and figurative language processing.
