SHORT BIO
My name is Yuhan Zhang, a graduate student in Harvard Linguistics. I am interested in psycholinguistics and computational linguistics. My research has focused on three aspects: (1) what cognitive principles or constraints influence human comprehension of the naturalist language input? (2) how do contexts affect the interpretation of ambiguous and semantically nuanced sentences? (3) could large language models be viewed as cognitive models of language processing? I combine formal linguistic theories, behavioral experimental methods, and statistical and computational modeling to answer these questions.
