Research Expertise: Computational Linguistics | Cognitive Science | Artificial Intelligence
Aravind's research focuses on questions at the intersection of computer science and linguistics. Employing his expertise in computational, mathematical, and formal linguistics, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence, Aravind studies theories of representation and inferencing in natural language, computational aspects of discourse, psycholinguistic implications of processing models as well as processing certain kinds of bilingual utterances. Aravind is also involved in the design and implementation of a variety of systems for natural language processing. Aravind is associated with and a founding co-director of the Institute for Research in Cognitive Science (IRCS) at the University of Pennsylvania.
