Top SchoolAaron White is a computational linguist and NLP researcher with 12+ years of experience who directs the Center for Language Sciences and leads FACTS.lab while serving as an associate professor at the University of Rochester. He builds large-scale, interpretable language systems—spanning event-keyed summarization, multilingual information extraction, and semantic parsing—and has a strong record of publishing in top computational linguistics and cognitive science venues. As PI on multiple federally funded, cross-institutional projects he has managed 1000+ annotator data collections, integrated research into curricula, and mentored teams of postdocs and students. His current work explores neurosymbolic meaning representation, controllable summarization, structured-query retrieval, and LLM interpretability, combining formal linguistic theory with practical tool and dataset releases used by major research groups.
