Mans Hulden

Mans Hulden (Swedish Måns Huldén) is a researcher and associate professor in computational linguistics. Before moving to the New College of Florida in 2024, he taught courses in computational linguistics, phonetics, and phonology at the University of Colorado Boulder. He is the creator and maintainer of the free and open source finite-state toolkit Foma.

Before moving to the University of Colorado in 2014, he was a Marie Curie fellow at the University of Helsinki, and an Ikerbasque visiting professor in Computer Science at the University of the Basque Country. Prior to that, Hulden received his PhD in Linguistics from the University of Arizona in 2009, and did postdoctoral work in Helsinki as a Marie Curie Fellow. His research focuses on modelling and learning natural language structure, particularly in the domains of morphology and phonology. He often employs and develops formal and machine learning methods to this end.

Dr. Hulden has worked extensively with linguistic applications of finite-state technology, modeling of linguistic theory, grammatical inference, and the development of language resources. He is the author of several open-source tools for finite-state language modeling. Provided by Wikipedia
