Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Linguistics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Statistics

His primary scientific interests are in Linguistics, Sentence, Artificial intelligence, Natural language processing and Relative clause. His research investigates the connection with Linguistics and areas like Psycholinguistics which intersect with concerns in Cognitive psychology and Linguistic universal. The concepts of his Sentence study are interwoven with issues in Syntax, Locality, Structure and Noun.

His work in Locality tackles topics such as Linguistic sequence complexity which are related to areas like English relative clauses and Center embedding. His work on Parsing, Dependency and Verb as part of general Artificial intelligence research is frequently linked to Data structure, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Natural language processing research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Code and Zipf's law.

His most cited work include:

  • Linguistic complexity: locality of syntactic dependencies (1585 citations)
  • The P600 as an index of syntactic integration difficulty (605 citations)
  • The dependency locality theory: A distance-based theory of linguistic complexity. (585 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Linguistics, Artificial intelligence, Natural language processing, Sentence and Comprehension are his primary areas of study. His studies deal with areas such as Parsing and Psycholinguistics as well as Linguistics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Structure and Locality in addition to Artificial intelligence.

While the research belongs to areas of Natural language processing, Edward Gibson spends his time largely on the problem of Word, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Speech recognition. Object is closely connected to Relative clause in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Sentence. While the research belongs to areas of Comprehension, he spends his time largely on the problem of Cognitive psychology, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Perception, Working memory and Pragmatics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Linguistics (49.23%)
  • Artificial intelligence (36.41%)
  • Natural language processing (32.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Artificial intelligence (36.41%)
  • Natural language processing (32.82%)
  • Linguistics (49.23%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Edward Gibson spends much of his time researching Artificial intelligence, Natural language processing, Linguistics, Cognitive psychology and Comprehension. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phonology, Forgetting and Encyclopedia. The Natural language processing study combines topics in areas such as Information theory, Locality and Mutual information.

His Locality study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Dependency and Word order. His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Social cognition and Reading. His Comprehension study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Active listening, Working memory, Sentence, Noise and Executive functions.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • How Efficiency Shapes Human Language (74 citations)
  • Tracking Colisteners' Knowledge States During Language Comprehension. (15 citations)
  • Lossy‐Context Surprisal: An Information‐Theoretic Model of Memory Effects in Sentence Processing (14 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Linguistics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Statistics

Edward Gibson mostly deals with Natural language processing, Artificial intelligence, Cognitive psychology, Comprehension and Information theory. Edward Gibson has included themes like Word, Mutual information, Locality, Encyclopedia and Phonology in his Natural language processing study. His studies deal with areas such as Word order, Context effect, Sentence processing, Forgetting and Dependency as well as Locality.

His research in Artificial intelligence intersects with topics in Zipf's law, Variety and Phonetics. His Cognitive psychology research integrates issues from Error detection and correction and Social cognition. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Language network and Noise.
