Computational study of active and interactive word learning
via zoomLieke 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 […]

FRUMAM 3 place Victor Hugo, Marseille, FranceHow does the human brain resist auditory distraction? One main challenge for the attentive brain is to resist distracting information. Auditory distraction can result from predictable irrelevant information (e.g. ongoing background noise) or from unexpected, transient and salient distracting events (e.g. phone ring, fire alarm…). Using intracranial EEG, scalp EEG and MEG data combined with […]

Language embodiment and relativity: Evidence in Chinese-English bilinguals
via zoomGuillaume Thierry Bangor University, Bangor, UK As soon as we master a language, several of our cognitive abilities that do not readily require language to operate and are seemingly independent from it interact with language representations in a highly sophisticated fashion, reflecting the highly integrated nature of human cognition. Examples of such cognitive […]

Teaching an old word new tricks? Phonological updates in the bilingual mental lexicon
Salle de conférences 5 avenue Pasteur, Aix-en-Provence, FranceIsabelle Darcy Indiana University / ILCB / IMéRA Listening to speech in your native language is easy. Recognizing the words spoken in conversation is generally an automatic and smooth everyday process in the first language (L1). Even in noisy or otherwise less than ideal conditions, performance is surprisingly robust. But anyone who has attempted to […]
A holistic measure of inter-annotation agreement with continuous data
via zoomRachid 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 […]
