In the context of the project “Material Constraints Enabling Human Cognition”, funded by the European Research Council, neural networks mimicking language areas in the brain are being developed and used to investigate fundamental questions in linguistics, especially concerning semantics and phonology. Recently, a model of the representation of concrete and abstract concepts was developed in this framework. In the context of this seminar, further relevant linguistic research questions shall be identified by the students, implemented as a neural network simulation and analyzed using Python (with support of the instructor).
The seminar is aimed at students in linguistics, cognitive science, philosophy, psychology, computer science or biology. Students of other disciplines with a focus on empirical research and data analysis (e.g. social sciences) are welcome. It is expected that students work on their assigned research tasks independently, therefore it is primarily aimed at students at the Master’s or advanced Bachelor’s level. Students without any programming experience are welcome, but they are expected to have an interest and willingness in acquiring basic skills in Python in the context of conducting data analyses in the seminar.
