Interdisciplinary research on language & speech Cognitive Science Cognitive Neuroscience Artificial Intelligence
The Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology • An interdisciplinary research institute devoted to basic research in the physical sciences, computation, engineering, biology, behavior, and cognition. • Beckman Institute research is focused around four research themes: • Biological Intelligence • Human-Computer Intelligent Interaction • Integrative Imaging • Molecular and Electronic Nanostructures
Biological Intelligence • Cognitive Science: how higher mental processes and how humans represent knowledge and process information; language & learning • Cognitive Neuroscience: how cognitive and emotional functioning are implemented in the neural architecture of the human brain • NeuroTech: Neural systems and computation; Molecular and cellular neurobiology • Linguists: Jennifer Cole; Chilin Shih • Many other speech and language researchers!
Human-Computer Intelligent Interaction • Artificial Intelligence: robotics, vision, knowledge representation, learning, image processing, scheduling, reasoning, decision and information systems, and natural language processing • Human Perception and Performance:mechanisms of human perception and the relations between perception and action • Image Formation and Processing: computerized imaging; image-video transmission, storage, and manipulation; and image and scene modeling and analysis • Linguists: Roxana Girju; Silvina Montrul; Ryan Shosted • Many other speech and language researchers!
