The Socio-Computational Architecture of Language Acquisition Framework: Linking Social Language Acquisition with Artificial Intelligence.

Sho Tsuji (International Research Center for Neurointelligence, Univ. of Tokyo) Theories and data on language acquisition suggest a range of cues are used, ranging from information on structure found in the linguistic signal itself, to information gleaned from the environmental context or through social interaction. We propose a blueprint for computational models of the early […]

From prelinguistic communication to word use in typically hearing and deaf infants

Danielle Matthews (Department of psychology, The University of Sheffield) Around the end of the first year infants make the transition from prelinguistic communication (babble, gesture, eye contact) to word use. I will present a series of studies that have  1) measured individual differences that predict this transition  2)  tested experimentally if it is possible to […]

Linking Language evolution, language acquisition, and language diversity: How social and cognitive pressures shape learning and communication

Limor Raviv (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics) ABSTRACT: What are the social, environmental, and cognitive pressures that shape the evolution of language in our species? Why are there so many different languages in the world? And how did this astonishing linguistic diversity come about? These are some of the most interesting questions in the fields […]

Exploring language development in autistic and TD children: individual differences, linguistic environment and conversational dynamics

Riccardo Fusaroli (Interacting Minds Center, Aarhus University) Le séminaire se tiendra en visioconférence via le lien : https://univ-amu-fr.zoom.us/j/2515421853?pwd=elpEeVhxRTV5b01rZGUxaWY4Qy9ZQT09 Language development is traditionally explored in terms of individual differences and/or linguistic environment. In this talk I will present a more comprehensive framework, where children actively engage and potentially the linguistic environment, and analogously adult speakers adapt […]

Anything but boring: How looking at tasks can tell us more about language development.

Christina Bergmann (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics) Le séminaire se tiendra en visioconférence via le lien : https://univ-amu-fr.zoom.us/j/2515421853?pwd=elpEeVhxRTV5b01rZGUxaWY4Qy9ZQT09 Abstract: Work that focuses on how we measure children's knowledge may seem a hurdle towards discovery. In this talk, I will argue that inspecting the methods we use can tell us a great deal about the underlying […]

Workshop on Bayesian models of cognition, language and speech

Salle de conférences 5 avenue Pasteur, Aix-en-Provence, France

In recent years, Bayesian approaches have developed at a remarkable rate in a large variety of domains, from cognitive science to machine learning, as well as speech and language sciences and neuroscience. They offer us new ways of modelling human as well as animal cognition in situations of uncertainty and in a probabilistic framework. In […]
