Advancing Neural Network Models of Language Processing

理解语言处理对每个加拿大人的福祉至关重要。这一话题的重要性体现在加拿大各省教育部花费45亿美元用于特殊的语言相关项目，包括对新移民的语言培训。大脑启发模型为人工智能（AI）带来的重大产业机遇也体现了这一点，比如微软的自然语言AI创造了100亿美元的收入。因此，对大脑语言系统的改进理论将使语言教学、补救和人工智能的一系列创新方法成为可能。

Understanding language processing is critical to the well-being of every Canadian. The importance of this topic is exemplified by the $4.5 billion that provincial education ministries across Canada spend on special language-related programs, including language training for newcomers. It is also seen in the major industrial opportunities brain-inspired models have for artificial intelligence (AI), such as the $10 billion in revenue generated by Microsoft’s natural language AI. An improved theory of the brain’s language system will therefore enable a range of innovative approaches to language instruction, remediation, and AI.
