Guido Linders, MA
Researcher
I am a postdoctoral researcher working on reference production within the CorTyp group at the Institute for the Interdisciplinary Study of Language Evolution, University of Zurich. Coming from a background in computational linguistics and cognitive science, I study language as a computational system shaped by different communicative and cognitive pressures. Using computational linguistic models, I investigate the linguistic patterns and statistical intricacies in usage-based language data, vital to understanding language.
I did my PhD at Tilburg University on a project called Virtual Humans in the Brabant Economy – ViBE, where I investigated spoken dialog with the goal of improving the language capabilities an embodied conversational agent.
