Biography

Suzanne Stevenson is a professor at the University of Toronto specializing in cognitive science and computational linguistics. Her highly multidisciplinary research integrates computational theories and techniques with insights from linguistics and psycholinguistics. She focuses on developing computational cognitive models that explain how people learn and process language, particularly emphasizing meaning, word-level semantics, and pragmatics. Her work involves the analysis of text using large language models (LLMs), grounded in cognitive and sociolinguistic principles. Professor Stevenson is currently open to taking new graduate students.
