Jason Riggle

Dr. Jason Riggle is an Associate Professor at the University of Chicago, the director of the Chicago Language Modeling Lab, and the Resident Dean of The Max Palevsky Residential Commons. Their main research areas are phonology, learnability, and computational linguistics. Much of their research focuses on the ways that specific models of grammar, learning, and communication interact to make predictions about linguistic typology (i.e., the range of attested linguistic phenomena in the world's languages) with special emphasis on the frequencies with which various articulations and patterns are observed within and across languages, dialects, and contexts.
