Hello! I'm Lukáš KYJÁNEK
at Université Paris Cité, Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle
My academic journey bridges the gap between computational approaches and formal theory in morphology and word formation. Starting in 2025, I am a PhD candidate at the Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle (Université Paris Cité). My work extends beyond research; besides my scientific focus, I am a passionate educator and teacher.
Research Areas
Morphology
I work on morphology (both inflectional and derivational) with a focus on computational approaches to predictability in morphological paradigms and semantics in general.
Computer lexicography
I develope several language resources and tools focused on morphology and word formation, but not exclusively.
Computational Linguistics
I exploit natual language processing (NLP), large language models (LLM), statistics, and machine learning to deal with the (large) language data.
