Courses
Undergraduate Course on the "Neural Basis of Language and Thought", CS182/Cog110/Ling109
Jointly
taught with Srinivas Narayanan, Spring 2008.
The major current project is the Neural Theory of Language effort in natural language understanding and learning, previously known as L0.
There is a recent book on NTL. From Molecule to Metaphor: A Neural Theory of Language, MIT Press, 2006. There is also a related website m2mbook.org that has news and reviews of the book and also will hopefully help further the development of a Unified Cognitive Science.
I am also active in a variety of efforts to extend opportunities in IT to underserved groups. The major current project is CoPE, a Community of Practice Environment. This is a multidisciplinary group, based at ICSI and affiliated with the UC Berkeley CITRIS endeavor, which works on a variety of issues concerning Information Technology and Society. Another ongoing project is BFOIT, the Berkeley Foundation for Opportunities in Information Technology.
A completed project is the Sather language, compiler, libraries and system. My personal work focused on the parallel extension, which is called pSather.
