Stephen Pryor

I am currently a software development engineer at Amazon.com. I graduated from Arkansas Tech University with a BS in Computer Science while minoring in Mathematics and then went on to receive masters in computer science at the University of Texas at Austin. My general areas of interest are artificial intelligence and neocortically inspired learning/intelligence. In particular, I am interested in language grounding: how to unite multi-modal perception with the learning and usage of natural language to make both more intelligent machines and more human friendly linguistic interfaces. I want to know how language relates to what we think about, how we think about it, and how we articulate what we know.
