For this Linguistics General Meeting welcomes home our Emeritus comrade, Paul Pietroski, to tell us about his recent work on a proof theory for natural language semantics, abstracted below.

SMPL Concepts, Conjunctive Meanings

Alum Brian Dillon returns to Maryland for the Linguistic Colloquium, to present his work on how the grammar of a given language influences how we encode linguistic input in working memory. See the official calendar event from the Department of Linguistics here.

In this talk, Leslie Li gives an informal and non-mathy introduction to speech transformers, and why they have been so popular in deep learning. Leslie will also talk about the training of transformers, and how they are used in speech recognition and self-supervised learning.

The new semester kicks off at the Mind Over Matter meeting with discussion of "Large scale single-neuron speech sound encoding across the depth of human cortex," a recent paper in Nature by Leonard, Gwilliams, Sellers, Chung, Xu, Mischler, Mesgarani, Welkenhuysen, Dutta and Chang.
