What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Linguistics
- Artificial intelligence
- Cognitive science
Linguistics, Cognitive science, Structure, Cultural transmission in animals and Process are his primary areas of study.
His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Adaptation and Linguistics.
His research integrates issues of Bootstrapping, Artificial intelligence and Natural language processing in his study of Cognitive science.
His Structure study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transition, Linguistic sequence complexity and Complex adaptive system.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Natural selection and Grammar in addition to Natural language.
The On Language study combines topics in areas such as Mathematical model, Constructed language, Linguistic universal and Object language.
His most cited work include:
- Cumulative cultural evolution in the laboratory: An experimental approach to the origins of structure in human language (513 citations)
- Spontaneous evolution of linguistic structure-an iterated learning model of the emergence of regularity and irregularity (406 citations)
- Innateness and culture in the evolution of language (286 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Linguistics, Cognitive science, Artificial intelligence, Cultural transmission in animals and Structure.
The Language evolution research Simon Kirby does as part of his general Cognitive science study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Process, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
His Artificial intelligence research incorporates themes from Natural language processing, Language change, Constructed language, Iterated learning and Set.
His Natural language processing study incorporates themes from Syntax and Meaning.
Cognitive psychology and Communication are fields of study that intersect with his Cultural transmission in animals research.
His Structure research incorporates elements of Context, Principle of compositionality and Complex adaptive system.
He most often published in these fields:
- Linguistics (39.80%)
- Cognitive science (26.37%)
- Artificial intelligence (22.89%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
