Nick Cassimatis and the Human-Level Intelligence Laboratory at Rensselaer has just been awarded a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) grant on 'Unified Theories of Language and Cognition'.

The project aims to develop a unified computational theory of language use that significantly expands the ability of computers to understand language and explains how people use background knowledge and context to achieve deep understanding of language even when it is highly ambiguous, novel, ungrammatical and/or metaphorical.  This grant will support several Postdoctoral researchers and graduate students.
