Language development as a joint process: Why the simultaneous learning of Form, Content, and Use is more a help than a hindrance

via zoom

Abdellah Fourta (Aix-Marseille University & INRIA Paris) Abstract: To acquire language, children need to learn form (e.g., phonology), content (e.g., word meaning), and use (e.g., finding the right words to convey a communicative intent). The scientific study of language development has traditionally studied these dimensions separately. Indeed, one could imagine that children first acquire the […]

Lieke Gelderloos, a Ph.D. researcher at Tilburg University, whose work is at the intersection of cognitive science, linguistics, and artificial intelligence The zoom link: https://univ-amu-fr.zoom.us/j/2515421853 Abstract: Models of cross-situational word learning typically characterize the learner as a passive observer. However, a language learning child can actively participate in verbal and non-verbal communication. We present a computational model […]

A holistic measure of inter-annotation agreement with continuous data

via zoom

Rachid Riad (École Normale Supérieure - Inria - Inserm) Abstract: Inter-rater reliability/agreement measures the degree of agreement among raters to describe, code or assess the same phenomenon. Most coefficients (ex: α, κ) measuring these agreements in psychology and natural sciences focus on the categorization of events. Yet, the annotations of speech and especially conversational spontaneous […]
