Shalom Lappin
Senior Researcher
Linguistics and Theory of Science unitAbout Shalom Lappin
My research is in computational linguistics with a focus on the application of probabilistic models to issues in syntax, semantics, and grammar induction. I am the director of the Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP) in FLoV.
Selected recent publications, and more information on my research are available from my personal website at
