Title: It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It: Modeling Linguistic Framing in Politics and Mental Health
ABSTRACT
Humans can describe observations and act upon requests. This requires that language be grounded in perception and motor control. I will present several components of my long-term research program to understand the vision-language-motor interface in the human brain and emulate such on computers.
A question-answering system designed by researchers from UMD and the University of Colorado holds its own against a top human team.
