SUMMARY:ACLC Seminar | Tineke Snijders: Neural tracking of speech in infants and their later language development
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication! (ACLC) \n\nSpeaker: Tineke Snijders\nLocation: PC Hoofthuis\nRoom: 5.60\nTitle: Neural tracking of speech in infants and their later language development\nAbstract: Neuronal groups in the brain process information in a rhythmical way\, and can also track the speech rhythm. Using EEG\, the coherence between the speech amplitude envelope and the electrophysiological response can be identified. This rhythmical neural tracking enables forming temporal predictions about salient events in the input\, ensuring the brain is most excitable at times when the speech signal carries the most information. This helps in grouping information in analyzable units such as words and phrases\, and this facilitates speech processing. I will discuss research showing that just like in adults\, neural oscillations in the infant brain track the rhythm of speech at different frequencies. I will report results of our studies relating speech-brain coherence in infants to word segmentation and further language development\, both in typically developing infants and in infants with a family history of autism. I will argue that rhythmic neural speech tracking reflects infants’ attention to specific parts of the speech signal (e.g. stressed syllables)\, and simultaneously acts as a core mechanism for maximizing temporal attention onto those parts.

SUMMARY:ACLC Seminar | Lauren Fonteyn: Methods of semi-automatic data annotation with contextualized word embeddings
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication! (ACLC) \n\nSpeaker: Lauren Fonteyn (Meertens Instituut)\nLocation: P.C. Hoofthuis\nRoom: 1.15\nTitle: Methods of semi-automatic data annotation with contextualized word embeddings\nAbstract: In corpus linguistics\, the collection and annotation of data commonly involve a relatively balanced combination of computer-aided and manual labour. It is still common practice\, for instance\, to first retrieve data representing a particular linguistic phenomenon from an electronic corpus (e.g. by means of a concordancer tool or query script) and subsequently manually categorize the collected examples into different groups (e.g. animate/inanimate; literal/figurative; agent/patient/instrument/…). However\, as the range of research questions that linguists aim to address by means of corpus data has expanded in complexity\, there is a growing need for larger data samples\, which is difficult to meet when we continue to approach data annotation manually. As such\, it has become an important practical challenge in corpus linguistics to determine how data annotation practices can evolve along with the needs of researchers. In this talk\, I suggest one way of approaching corpus data annotation (semi-)automatically by relying on Large Language Models (LLMs). More specifically\, I will present a number example case studies to highlight how an LLM like BERT can be employed to annotate corpus data. The presentation focusses on the BERT-based models MacBERTh (Manjavacas & Fonteyn 2022a) and GysBERT (Manjavacas & Fonteyn 2022b)\, which – unlike the vast majority of available models – have been pre-trained to process historical English and Dutch respectively (date range: 1500-1950). What makes the approach I will discuss appealing is that it is fully customizable to the researcher’s needs. Of course\, some corpora have been enriched with part-of-speech tags\, or\, more exceptionally\, syntactic parsing and semantic tagging. Yet\, not only are high-quality parsed (historical) corpora quite rare and limited in size\, the extent to pre-set tags map onto the categories a researcher is interested in may also vary. The procedure presented in my case studies\, then\, offers a means of automatically classifying morphosyntactic structures in large\, unparsed (and/or untagged) corpora following a custom annotation scheme. As such\, the procedure can help to scale up the data set for (historical) corpus studies where a small portion of the data has been manually annotated\, or to replicate a data annotation scheme adopted in prior work and apply it to new data.

SUMMARY:ABC Lecture | Sabine Kastner: Neural dynamics of the primate attention network
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Amsterdam Brain and Cognition! (ABC) \n\nSpeaker: Sabine Kastner\nLocation: Science Park 904\nRoom: SP C0.110\nTitle: Neural dynamics of the primate attention network\nAbstract: The selection of information from our cluttered sensory environments is one of the most fundamental cognitive operations performed by the primate brain. In the visual domain\, the selection process is thought to be mediated by a static spatial mechanism – a ‘spotlight’ that can be flexibly shifted around the visual scene. This spatial search mechanism has been associated with a large-scale network that consists of multiple nodes distributed across all major cortical lobes and includes also subcortical regions. To identify the specific functions of each network node and their functional interactions is a major goal for the field of cognitive neuroscience. In my lecture\, I will give an overview on the neural basis of this fundamental cognitive function and discuss recently discovered rhythmic properties that set up alternating attention states.

SUMMARY:ACLC Seminar | Odette Scharenborg: Inclusive automatic speech recognition: Quantifying and mitigating bias in automatic speech recognisers
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication! (ACLC) \n\nSpeaker: Odette Scharenborg\nLocation: P.C. Hoofthuis\nRoom: 1.15\nTitle: Inclusive automatic speech recognition: Quantifying and mitigating bias in automatic speech recognisers\nAbstract: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) is increasingly used\, e.g.\, in emergency response centers\, domestic voice assistants\, and search engines. Because of the paramount relevance spoken language plays in our lives\, it is critical that ASR systems are able to deal with the variability in the way people speak (e.g.\, due to speaker differences\, demographics\, different speaking styles\, and differently abled users). ASR systems promise to deliver objective interpretation of human speech. Practice and recent evidence however suggests that the state-of-the-art SotA ASRs struggle with the large variation in speech due to e.g.\, gender\, age\, speech impairment\, race\, and accents. The overarching goal in our project is to uncover bias in ASR systems to work towards proactive bias mitigation in ASR. In this talk\, I will present systematic experiments aimed at quantifying\, identifying the origin of\, and mitigating the bias of state-of-the-art ASRs on speech from different\, typically low-resource\, groups of speakers\, with a focus on bias against gender\, age\, regional accents and non-native accents.
