Original Title: chris correa: Abstraction
A wonderful idea… will try it with my RSS feeder… not sure whether it conforms to the APA copyright policy… depending on how it is implemented, I guess.

Read the paper edition today… everything made sense until they started to prescribe a cure by mixing these two traditions. I doubt that any mechanical “deployment” of two radically — yes, I believe realism and intrumentalism are inconciliable as philosophical stances — different approaches to science will succeed, in the sense that the […]

Original Title: TreeTalk: Memory-Based Grapheme-Phoneme Conversion Demo
A TreeTalk online demo. As mentioned above, this is an analogy-based model that is probably not suitable for a theoretical model of reading acquisition. While it is reasonable to assume that children keep track of words and their spelling forms, the assumption that phonemes are represented […]

Original Title: Antal van den Bosch
Busser´s thesis took a straightforward machine-learning approach to English (and Dutch) GPC. The visulization is slick (although I am confused whose thesis it was — Busser or Bosch). But it seems like it´s an analogy-based system, and there are no explicit “rules” inducted.
Maybe with a memory-based approach […]

Some fairly dated demos from UIUC on name id and tracking.
Understanding text to the level that we can extract information from it in an intelligent way and answer questions with respect to it requires the ability to identify different types of entities and categories in text. E.g., this phrase represents a […]

Tags: Original URL: http://processing.org/reference/compare/index.html Burning Liquid Sky by Mario Klingemann
Processing seems to be a neat language to do visual simulations — e.g., of eye movements. Beats ActionScript because it´s (or will be) GPL.
Processing is a programming language and environment built for the electronic arts and visual design communities. It was created to teach fundamentals of computer programming […]

Original Title: webtwo_features_irrationality
I might be overly critical. Or I am expecting too much from “science writing”. Either way the claim that the Greeks discovered mathematics (maybe orthography as well?) is just incredible.

Original Title: webtwo_features_irrationality
Dont you wish you were a “science writer” rather than an author of scientific articles? Being the former, you dont have to be responsible for what you say. Being the latter … as described on John “Neuronaut” McCrones website:

Original Title: webtwo_features_fire
The relation between fire and language was nevery answered in this article, but nonetheless it´s a facinating recount of the research on the origin of fires.

Tags: Original URL: http://www.btinternet.com/~neuronaut/webtwo_features_deaf.htm The sign language used by the deaf originated in the late-1700s. A French priest, Charles de l´Epee, invented a system of signalling by gestures, fingerspelling and facial expressions. At the time, the deaf were seen as hopelessly retarded and hardly worth bothering with. They appeared trapped in a blank wilderness; not […]

The best evidence for grammar in Wild Children? Grammar in the sense of word combinations. But any sense whether the word order was influenced by Hindi spoken around her?

Original Title: webtwo_features_feral_kids
It seems that wild children could never see the light of language. And yet, when they managed to learn to speak their first words, some Universal Constraints still were at work and the ordinary Optimality Theory predictions still stand. See below:
