SUMMARY:Language Processing in Minds and Machines
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a rich evening of linguistics with scientist Dr. Br
 ian Dillon\, Ph.D talking about artificial intelligence and human language.
  In the 21st century\, particularly in a multicultural society such as Cana
 da\, an understanding of language is critical to all aspects of our cultura
 l\, social and political interactions. Linguistic models and theories under
 lie many of the technologies we rely on\, including speech recognition\, ch
 atbots\, and generative artificial intelligence. Now more than ever\, it is
  essential for the public to understand how language and linguistics contri
 bute to a well-functioning society. Linguistics is a diverse field of study
  with a wide spectrum of research underpinning many disciplines and profess
 ional fields. Applied fields like Speech-Language Pathology and Natural Lan
 guage Processing rely on theoretical and experimental linguistics. In this 
 event\, Dr. Brian Dillon\, Ph.D. will discuss the current debates about the
  fundamental nature of human language\, the role that artificial intelligen
 ce has to play in understanding this aspect of ourselves\, and the role tha
 t linguistic science has to play in understanding what makes us human. The 
 talk will be preceded and followed by a light reception and an exhibition s
 howcasing research currently being conducted by UCalgary linguistics studen
 ts. During the reception/exhibition\, audience members will have an opportu
 nity to talk to the students about the research they do and participate in 
 research demos.\n\nNote that registration for the event is free but require
 d and it will close when we reach capacity.\n\nhttps://www.visitcalgary.com
