Pragmatic Language Interpretation as Probabilistic Inference
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2016. [All Versions]. Understanding language requires more than the use of fixed conventions and more than decoding combinatorial structure. Instead, comprehenders make exquisitely sensitive inferences about what utterances mean given their…

Predicting Pragmatic Reasoning in Language Games science.org
Science, 2012. [All Versions]. [Preprint]. One of the most astonishing features of human language is its capacity to convey information efficiently in context. Many theories provide informal accounts of communicative inference, yet there have been few successes in making…
