Christopher David Manning (o belegwe ka 1965) ke rasaense wa khomputara le moithuti wa dipuo wa Australia le Amerika, yo o berekang jaaka Thomas M. Siebel Professor mo go Ithuteng ka Metšhini (Machine Learning) le jaaka Professor wa Dilo le Khomputara kwa Stanford University, kwa a gape a berekang jaaka Motlatsi wa Motsamaisi wa Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) mme pele ga moo a kile a tsamaisa Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL) go tloga ka 2018 go fitlha ka 2025.
Dipatlisiso tsa gagwe di lebile mo go tiriseng dipuo ka tlhago (natural language processing), go ithuteng ka botebo (deep learning), le go sekaseka dipuo ka tsela ya khomputara (computational linguistics), mme o na le dipoelo tse di lemogegang go akaretsa seka sa GloVe word embedding, Stanford CoreNLP, laeborari ya Stanza NLP, le sebopego sa Universal Dependencies.
O kwadile mmogo dibuka tse pedi tse di dirisiwang thata, e leng Foundations of Statistical Natural Language Processing (1999) le Introduction to Information Retrieval (2008), mme o ruta thuto ya CS224N e e nang le seabe se segolo mo go NLP ka deep learning.
Manning ke leloko le le tlhophilweng la National Academy of Engineering le American Academy of Arts and Sciences, ke Fellow wa ACM, AAAI, le ACL, mme ke moamogedi wa khau ya 2024 IEEE John von Neumann Medal.
Dikarolo tsa Thuto le Mekgatlo
Manning o tshwere setulo sa Thomas M. Siebel Professor sa ntlha mo Machine Learning kwa Stanford, tiro e e akaretsang bobedi mafapha a Linguistics le Computer Science — e leng tlhophiso e e bontshang boikanyego jwa gagwe jo bo tswang mo botshelong jwa gagwe jotlhe jwa go tsaya puo jaaka bobedi thuto ya saense le ya boenjiniere. Ntle le dikabelo tsa gagwe tsa go ruta, ke ene Mothehi le Senior Fellow wa Stanford HAI, setheo se se lebisitseng maikutlo mo ditlamorago tsa loago tsa botlhale jwa maiketsetso, le General Partner kwa AIX Ventures. O ne a direla e le Moporesidente wa Association for Computational Linguistics ka 2015 mme a tlhoma Stanford NLP Group, e e ileng ya ruta meloko ya baitsesaense ba ba jaanong ba dirang mo dikgatong tsa thuto le tsa kgwebo.
Leeto la dipatlisiso la Manning le ralala dikarolo tse pedi tse di farologaneng mme di kgokagantswe. Mo tirong ya gagwe ya ntlha, o ne a tsepamisa maikutlo mo go tlhageng metheo e e siameng ya dipalo le e e tlhomameng ya probabiliti mo computational linguistics — a tlhama diphaka tsa go tlhalosa tlhakanelo ya puo ka tlhago, go sekaseka sebopego sa polelo (syntactic parsing), le go dira ka dipuo di le dintsi. Se se akaretsang gape karolo ya gagwe jaaka moagi yo mogolo wa Stanford Dependencies le sebopego sa Universal Dependencies, se se tlhomileng mokgwa o o tsamaisanang mo dipuong tsotlhe wa go tlatsa tshedimosetso ka sebopego sa puo ya puo ya kgalemelo, o o tserweng go seka ke setšhaba sa NLP go tloga foo.
Go simologa mo e ka nnang ka 2010, Manning o fetotse kgopolo ya gagwe go ya mo deep learning e e dirisiwang mo go tlhaloganyeng puo. Tirisanommogo ya setlhopha sa gagwe e amile mathata a a farologaneng: go sekaseka maikutlo ka tree-recursive neural networks, seka sa GloVe word vector, mekgwa ya attention, neural machine translation, go araba dipotso, le go simolola ka go ithuta ka boithatelo (self-supervised pre-training). Bophara jwa dithomelo tseno bo bonwa mo kitso e e newang ke setšhaba sa dipatlisiso — setlhopha sa gagwe se amogetse Best Paper Awards kwa ACL, Coling, EMNLP, le CHI, le ACL Test of Time Awards tse tharo tse di latelanang, go akaretsa e le nngwe ka 2025 ya pampiri ya neural machine translation e e ikaegileng mo attention e e neng e kwadilwe mmogo le Thang Luong le Hieu Pham.
Tiriso e e sa tswang go feta e tswang mo setlhopheng sa gagwe e lekile dikarolo tse di dirang mo tirisong le tsa loago tsa large language models, go akaretsa dipatlisiso tsa go lemoga ditemana tse di tlhagisitsweng ke LLM ka mokgwa wa DetectGPT le patlisiso ya go tlhoka boammaaruri (hallucination) mo tirisong ya molao ya LLMs, e e gatisitsweng mo Journal of Empirical Legal Studies.
Manning o ile a tshegetsa ka gale go dira gore didirisiwa tsa NLP di nne teng mo batshameki le baitsesaense ba ba kwa ntle ga ditheo tse di kwa godimo. Stanford CoreNLP, e leng toolkit ya pele le e e feletseng ya open-source NLP, le la bofelo la laeborari ya Stanza di amogetswe thata. Dithuto tsa gagwe tsa puo ka ergativity le complex predicates di bontsha gape bophara jwa ditiro tsa borutegi tse di fetang tiro ya software le ditsamaiso e e tlwaelegileng go ama baitsesaense ba computer science.
Mo lehlakoreng la thuto, thuto ya gagwe ya CS224N mo NLP ka deep learning, e e filweng ka Stanford mme e le teng le mo inthaneteng, e kgobokeditse bashebelli ba makgolo a le mantsi mo lefatsheng lotlhe. Dikwalo tsa gagwe tsa dibuka tse a kwadileng mmogo — nngwe ka statistical NLP le Hinrich Schütze, e nngwe ka information retrieval le Schütze le Prabhakar Raghavan — di sa ntse di le dikhutlo tse di tlwaelegileng mo lebaleng. O ne a tsenya letsogo thata mo rekotong ya hisitori ya dipatlisiso tsa AI kwa Stanford, a na le karolo e e botlhokwa mo go kopanyeng documentary e khutshwane AI at Stanford: 1962–2022, e e amogetseng Northern California Emmy Award ka 2023.
Ntle le dikabelo tsa gagwe mo mekgatlong ya botswerere le IEEE John von Neumann Medal, Manning o amogetse doctorate ya tlotla go tswa kwa University of Amsterdam ka 2023. Ditekolo tsa gagwe mo National Academy of Engineering le American Academy of Arts and Sciences, tsotlhe ka 2025, di ne tsa lemoga ka tlhamalalo go tlhabolola le go phasalatsa ditsela tsa go dira natural language processing. Gape ke Faculty Affiliate kwa RegLab ya Stanford, e e lebisitseng mo taolong, tekanyong, le puso — kamano e e golaganyang tiro ya gagwe ya botegeniki le dipotso tsa molao le maano tse di maleba le go dirisiwa ga AI.
