AI Still Doesn't Have the Common Sense to Understand Human Language - 2 views

  •  
    This article describes a study conducted by the Allen Institute of Artificial Intelligence which evaluated AI's capability to actually understand the language it produces. This comes after recent advancements in natural-language processing (NLP) have allowed AI to generate convincing literary works. In the study, researchers posed over 44,000 questions, built off the Winograd Schema Challenge, to an AI system. Essentially, the questions used pairs of sentences with slight differences that flipped the meaning of a pronoun, thus requiring a comprehensive understanding of semantics in order to correctly assign the pronoun. The study found that the AI only had a 60-80% success rate, compared to the human success rate of roughly 94%.

Linguistic Code-Switching: What it Is and Why it Happens - 0 views

  •  
    This article focused on the main types of code-switching and their purposes. This occurs in two main ways: 1) switching/combining two separate languages, and 2) using different accents and dialects around different people. Code-switching can be used both for comprehension and as a group belonging mechanism.

BUILDING TRUST IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE - 1 views

  •  
    This comprehensive talks about what AI is and where it came from, along with the basics of why it has gained so much success lately. It explores how we can go about trusting this new technology, both in terms of tailored online services like ChatGPT and in terms of bigger machinery such as smart homes, self-driving cars, and more.

Neuroscience for Kids - Second Language - 19 views

  • In most cases, if a person is not exposed to a language during the critical period, he or she will never be able to speak the language as well as someone who learned language normally.
  • Although the person may be able to learn many vocabulary words, his or her syntax will probably never reach a normal level.
  • Children who have brain damage are often able to regain their language abilities with practice. Adults, however, who suffer damage to language areas are rarely able to achieve their previous language proficiency.

  • This observation further supports the concept that there might be a difference between learning language in childhood and adulthood.
  • Surgeons need to know which brain areas are involved in language comprehension and production, so that they will not disturb these valuable centers during operations on the brain.
  • Research suggests that learning second (or third) languages is easier for young children, and some evidence indicates certain brain areas that might be involved in this learning. Several studies have related second language learning to Broca's and Wernicke's areas.
  • Many studies suggest that the age at which a second language is learned may determine whether brain areas used for processing each language are overlapping or different. Early bilinguals seem more likely to use overlapping brain areas and late bilinguals seem more likely to use different areas for each language.
  • Although it is generally believed that a critical period exists for a first language, it is not known if there is a similar critical period for a second language.

    This site is very insightful as to the differences in language development in the brain between those that learn a second language in childhood and those that learn the language as adults. It explains briefly the idea of a critical period and discusses the interesting aspects that come along with learning a second language later in life. It mentions Broca's and Wernicke's area.
