Conference: New horizons in language science: large language models, language structure, and the neural basis of language

研讨会标题：语言科学的新视野：人类思维和大脑中的大型语言模型、语言结构和语言处理。该研讨会致力于探讨当今大型语言模型、语言结构以及人类思维和大脑中的语言处理之间的跨学科联系。我们将召集一个横跨计算机科学、语言学、认知科学和神经科学的专家小组，讨论基于深度学习的自然语言技术的最新进展，这些技术不仅引起了科学上的关注，而且引起了商业和公众的普遍关注，以及这一进展对我们对语言结构的科学理解以及人类思维和大脑中语言习得和处理的基础的影响。研讨会将促进合作并鼓励创新的研究方向，目的是制作一份白皮书，为未来的研究和政策制定提供信息。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Workshop Title: New Horizons in Language Science: Large Language Models, Language Structure, and Language Processing in the Human Mind and Brain. This workshop is dedicated to interdisciplinary connections between today’s large language models, language structure, and language processing in the human mind and brain. We will convene a group of experts spanning computer science, linguistics, cognitive science, and neuroscience to discuss recent progress in deep learning based natural language technology, which have captured not only scientific but also general commercial and public attention under the name "Large Language Models” (LLMs), and the implications of this progress for our scientific understanding of language structure and the basis of language acquisition and processing in the human mind and brain. The workshop will foster collaboration and encourage innovative research directions, with the intent of producing a white paper to inform future research and policymaking.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
