summaryIn this talk, I will present several recent projects focusing on three key properties of natural language. First, I will discuss several projects focused on productivity: the ability to produce and comprehend new expressions. I will review work using program synthesis techniques to understand learning in “small data” domains as well as some recent results examining the productivity of language models. Finally, I will turn to the problem of incremental processing, presenting modeling and empirical work on the nature of the algorithms that underlie the human sentence processor.
