Grab it Explore the intersection of natural language processing and human cognition in this thought-provoking lecture by Allyson Ettinger from the University of Chicago. Delve into a series of projects examining NLP systems' information capture by leveraging knowledge of human cognitive processes. Discover how NLP representations compare to different stages of human language comprehension, from early predictive brain responses to final compositional meaning. Gain insights into the assessment of current NLP models and the targeting of ideal representational capacities for future improvements. Learn about Ettinger's interdisciplinary approach, drawing from cognitive science, linguistics, and computer science to investigate meaning extraction, representation, and deployment in both human and artificial language processing systems.
