Natural Language Processing

Our research group explores how intelligent agents understand and use language, with a growing focus on the integration of vision and language in large-scale models. At the intersection of cognitive science and artificial intelligence, we aim to advance machine understanding of human communication—spanning both purely linguistic and rich multimodal contexts.

We ask how language emerges, evolves, and operates as a system for conveying structured, grounded meaning. We investigate how computational systems can acquire, represent, and use this system in ways that mirror the versatility and flexibility of human cognition.
