Nine Research Positions in the Dutch Consortium 'Language in Interaction' (1.0 FTE)

by Verhoef, J.P. (Julia)

Nine Research Positions in the Dutch Consortium 'Language in Interaction' (1.0 FTE) Dutch Research Consortium 'Language in Interaction' Vacancy number: 30.02.17 Application deadline: 21 May 2017 Responsibilities We are looking for highly motivated candidates to enrich a unique research consortium aiming to unravel the neurocognitive mechanisms of language at multiple levels. The goal is to understand both the universality and the variability of the human language faculty from genes to behaviour. Currently, our consortium advertises 4 Postdoc and 5 PhD positions. These positions provide the opportunity for conducting world-class research as a member of an interdisciplinary team. Each position has its own requirements and profile. Click here for more information on the advertised positions.<http://www.languageininteraction.nl/jobs/BQsecond.html> www.languageininteraction.nl/jobs/BQsecond.html<https://www.languageininteraction.nl/jobs/BQsecond.html> Work environment The Netherlands has an outstanding track record in the language sciences. The Language in Interaction research consortium, sponsored by a large grant from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), brings together many of the excellent research groups in the Netherlands with a research programme on the foundations of language. In addition to excellence in the domain of language and related relevant fields of cognition, our consortium provides state-of-the-art research facilities and a research team with ample experience in the complex research methods that will be invoked to address the scientific questions at the highest level of methodological sophistication. These include methods from genetics, neuroimaging, computational modelling, and patient-related research. This consortium realises both quality and critical mass for studying human language at a scale not easily found anywhere else. We have identified five Big Questions (BQ) that are central to our understanding of the human language faculty. These questions are interrelated at multiple levels. Teams of researchers will collaborate to collectively address these key questions of our field. Our five Big Questions are: BQ1: The nature of the mental lexicon: How to bridge neurobiology and psycholinguistic theory by computational modelling? BQ2: What are the characteristics and consequences of internal brain organization for language? BQ3: Creating a shared cognitive space: How is language grounded in and shaped by communicative settings of interacting people? BQ4: Variability in language processing and in language learning: Why does the ability to learn language change with age? How can we characterise and map individual language skills in relation to the population distribution? BQ5: How are other cognitive systems shaped by the presence of a language system in humans? Successful candidates will be appointed at one of the consortium’s home institutions, depending on the position applied for. All successful candidates will become members of our Big Question teams. The research is conducted in an international setting at all participating institutions. English is the lingua franca. What we expect from you Each position has its own requirements and profile. Detailed information on: www.languageininteraction.nl/jobs/BQsecond.html<https://www.languageininteraction.nl/jobs/BQsecond.html> General requirements for all positions are: · a degree in one of the fields indicated for the positions; · strong motivation; · excellent proficiency in written and spoken English.

Call for papers: First International Workshop on Grounding Language Understanding (GLU 2017)

by Jean Rouat

Call for papers GLU 2017 ==================== Apologies for cross posting. Please forward to your colleagues and peers. The **First International Workshop on Grounding Language Understanding (GLU 2017)** will be held at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, on August 25, 2017. http://www.speech.kth.se/glu2017/ The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different disciplines (linguistics, language, robotics, systems neuroscience, cognitive science, signal processing, etc.) working with modeling different aspects of grounding language acquisition and understanding. Although speech and language technology have reached a level of maturity, machines still fall short of human performance, especially when considering flexibility and robustness. It is therefore desirable to extend the machine learning approach which has been applied to speech and language technology, and emulate more closely the way humans and living systems acquire language. Desirable properties of the new learning approaches would include: * being less dependent on annotated data, * acquiring knowledge from multimodal inputs (acoustic, visual, tactile), * learning from interaction, * relating learning to the situational context, * grounding language in the perceptual, emotional and sensorimotor experience of the agent This requires a highly multidisciplinary approach, combining the field of human language processing, speech technology, machine learning, developmental robotics and cognitive and systems neuroscience. Confirmed keynote speakers: ======================== * Emmanuel Dupoux, École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris, France. * Katerina Pastra, Cognitive Systems Research Institute, Athens, Greece Scientific Area Topics ================= * Language Learning via Grounded Dialogue * Language Generation for Embodied Tasks * Grounded Knowledge Representations * Skill Learning via Interactive Dialogue * Aligning and Translating Language to Situated Actions * Instructions for Navigation/Articulation/Manipulation * Mapping Language and World * Grounded Reinforcement Learning * Language-based Game Playing for Grounding * Structured and Deep Learning Models for Embodied Language * New Datasets for Embodied Language * Better Evaluation Metrics for Embodied Language Important Dates ============= Paper Submission: **Wednesday, 31 May 2017** Paper Notification Acceptance: **Wednesday, 28 June 2017** Publication of Full Programme: **Wednesday, 12 July 2017** Camera-ready Paper Due: **Wednesday, 26 July 2017** Registration Deadline: **Wednesday, 2 August 2017** Workshop: **Friday, 25 August 2017** Submission and Format =================== We invite original submissions from 3 pages to 4 pages of text, plus one page (maximum) for references in the INTERSPEECH format. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two members of the Scientific Review Committee. Submit your paper through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=glu2017 Proceedings and Publication ======================= Accepted papers will be published in the open access GLU2017 (indexed) proceedings. Registration ========== We are trying to keep the costs as low as possible. Registration fees should be around 150€. These will include the lunch, coffee breaks and the evening dinner on the day of the workshop. Sponsors ======== GLU2017 is supported by the CHIST-ERA/IGLU consortium and is an ISCA sponsored event and a satellite event for Interspeech 2017 in Stockholm.
