Language Processing
In this week's meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience of Language (CNL) Lab, Hanna Muller (LING) will be leading a discussion on what is meant by "shallow processing".

The Interaction Between Processing Speed, Cognitive Control, and Word Retrieval
Title: Prediction in the Processing of Repair Disfluencies
Title: Bridging NLP and brain science to improve natural language understanding
Abstract: Natural language processing systems have made impressive strides in producing useful task-oriented language tools - but even the most sophisticated NLP systems fall dramatically short of the human brain in robustness and nuance of language understanding. A particular area of need in NLP is that of sentence composition: the combinatory capacity that allows humans to generate and understand the meanings of infinite sentences based on their parts.
