Hi there!👋🏻

This is a channel devoted to topics in Language, Technology, and Mind.

These three are deeply intertwined - think of natural language processing (speech recognition, text mining, and so on); cognitive science; psycholinguistics; artificial intelligence, and many more.

Here you'll see:
🔸reviews of interesting articles & literature;
🔸original interviews with academics and people from the industry;
🔸curious concepts and facts;
🔸recommendations with podcasts, blogs, and so on.

You can use these hashtags to navigate through the content:

I discovered that the link to the interview with Maciej doesn't work properly in a computer version — so here's the link to the same article on Medium.

After a period of silence, finally feeling ready to post some exciting interviews from winter + deliver more new content.

Stay tuned ~

In January, I planned a short trip to Saarbrücken to check out the city and talk to professors from Saarland University.

Vera Demberg was one of the people I eagerly wanted to meet. During her short break between work calls, we managed to discuss some exciting topics:

🔹How do people choose what they are going to say?
🔹Are NLP trends facing a deadlock?
🔹What do humans know about the language that machines still don’t?

Read about these and more in the new article :)

Have you ever wondered how the advancement of technology affects our interaction with it?

That's exactly what Iona Gessinger studies. She has gone a long path from a linguist in Romance Languages to a researcher in human-computer interaction. She did research in Germany, France, Brazil, and Ireland.

Out of many possible topics, we discussed the following:

🔸How linguists can be helpful in crime investigation?
🔸Do we really treat machines way differently than humans?
🔸What voice assistants and robots should be like?

Badr M. Abdullah is a Ph.D. researcher in human speech processing at Saarland University.

As he put in his bio, he conducts "interdisciplinary research at the intersection of linguistics, speech science, cognitive science, and machine learning".

When I was in Saarbrücken, I couldn't not ask him for an interview. We met in the university canteen (Mensa) at lunch and discussed Badr's career, research interests, and other exciting topics.

🔹How do humans process speech?
🔹Is AI still far from us in perceiving the spoken language?
🔹How do Machine Learning and Cognitive Science interact with Speech Science?

Answers to these and more are already in the article :)
