Susanne Z. Riehemann

After several years at SRI International I worked in the Machine Intelligence and Assistant groups at Google. I got my Ph.D. from the Linguistics Department at Stanford University. I was also a member of the HPSG and LinGO projects at CSLI. Before coming to Stanford I studied at the University of Tübingen (SfS), and at the Centre for Cognitive Science of the University of Edinburgh.

My current research interests are in mechanistic interpretability of LLMs. I previously worked on meaning representations for agentic systems, Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Web Ontologies and Reasoning, Computational Linguistics and Corpus Linguistics. My dissertation was a constructional approach to idioms and word formation in HPSG.

On this web site you can find information about my publications, my CV, and pages with photos from my various travels with my husband, Ed Zalta.
