About the resource/s

Combined knowledge from linguistics, psychology, and natural language processing. In one project they study whether and how generic sentences — which typically express (perhaps stereotypical) generalisations — should be interpreted, and whether corresponding implicit generalisations can be found in computational language models trained by (huge) linguistic corpora. In the other project, the main object of study is the impact of (online) media on stereotypical beliefs people hold.
