The Reading Group on Language and Intelligence meets regularly to discuss techniques and applications of Natural Language Processing, in particular parser technologies, document analytics and knowledge extraction.
Assuming that language is a salient aspect of intelligence, we are also interested in exploring how language abilities relate to intelligence in general and whether discovering mechanisms for dealing with language may help in building more intelligent machines or, viceversa, whether discoveries about the cognitive processing mechanisms in the brain may lead to better language processing tools.
In particular we would like to explore whether the Memory-Prediction Framework proposed by Jeff Hawkins can be an appropriate basis for understanding the way the human mind processes language or performs other cognitive tasks like vision, movement, music.
The Reading Group is part of the activities of the Dottorato in Informatica (PhD in Informatics) at the Università di Pisa.
