Research interests
Michael’s research involves developing computational models of language acquisition. The aim is to help us understand how an infant is able to experience a language and somehow infer the underlying structure (or syntax) of the language. The basic form of Michael’s research involves testing how simple processes can extract the underlying structure in a corpus of child directed speech.
Michael is a member of our Cognition Group which forms part of our ARU Centre for Mind and Behaviour.
