Meeting Description: 

This meeting will discuss the convergence and divergence between the
statistical, neuroscientific and formal approaches to language. The last
decade was marked by major advances in statistical and machine learning
approaches to language, leading to new representations and practical
applications. At the same time, cognitive neuroscience made significant
progress on the representation of language in the brain, and formal
linguistics continued to make steady progress on the structural description of
language. The three approaches have followed largely independent paths, as is
natural given the substantive differences in methodologies and aims.
Nevertheless, one could have expected a higher level of integration, as they
all study the representation of natural language. This workshop will promote
the interaction between these domains, through presentations of a selected
group of linguists, cognitive and brain scientists, and researchers in machine
learning.
