Hot Takes on Modern Language Models

 

The Creation of Fictional Languages

The 12th annual Language Science Day is scheduled for Friday, October 28, 2022.

Language Science Day (LSD) is a signature annual event for Maryland's language science community, bringing together up to 200 students and faculty from across the university and affiliated centers. Participants get to know their fellow language scientists, exchange ideas, showcase their research, and discover opportunities for training or collaboration.

The Language Science Center awarded two undergraduate research fellowships in summer 2022. These fellowships are funded in part from the generous contributions of donors on Giving Day.

 

Meg Cychosz (HESP) will give an overview of the process of applying for academic jobs (applications, interviews, job talks, negotiations), and answer all your burning questions!

Lunch will be served starting at 12:15. (Vegan options availalble, but GF options could be a bit odd... like a lettuce wrap.)

 

Planet Cloze: The expanding universe of lexical prediction models

Rosa Lee (LING), Katherine Howitt (LING), London Dixon (LING), Tal Ness (HESP), Masato Nakamura (LING)

All grad students and post-bacs are invited for a meeting to discuss plans for the year. Lunch will be provided! The meeting will be led by the newly-elected Graduate Student Board: Zhiyi Wu, Sanshiroh Ogawa, Kelly Marshall, and Katherine Howitt. All are welcome, regardless of whether you've been involved in LSC activities in the past.

Although we will continue to offer a Zoom option for LSLT for now, we strongly encourage you to attend in person! The talk is only part of the point of LSLT: it's a good opportunity to meet and chat with students and faculty in other departments. And there's lunch!

Although we will continue to offer a Zoom option for LSLT for now, we strongly encourage you to attend in person! The talk is only part of the point of LSLT: it's a good opportunity to meet and chat with students and faculty in other departments. And we've now reinstated the classic LSLT sandwich line!
