Maintenance and Support for Parallel Computation in Cognitive Science and Cognate Areas

该奖项将支持一个跨学科的研究团队在加州大学洛杉矶分校认知科学研究计划的连接机维护方面的活动。这种支持所产生的研究将在以下六个领域进行：(A)语言处理，包括推理、规划、推理和搜索；(B)对新出现的人工生命范式的进化研究；(C)对神经网络的模拟研究--包括合成的和神经上可信的--以模拟记忆、学习、语言和视觉，(D)生物图像处理的并行算法，例如核磁共振图像的操作；(E)对并行计算的基本数学和逻辑的研究，例如并行编程语言语义的发展；以及(F)将并行算法用于科学计算。该奖项将支持一个跨学科的研究团队在加州大学洛杉矶分校认知科学研究计划的连接机维护方面的活动。这一奖项的结果将是认知科学和并行计算的发展。

This award will support the activities of an interdisciplinary team of researchers in terms of maintenance of the Conneciton Machine of the UCLA Cognitive Science Research Program. The research resulting from this support will be in the following six areas: (a) language processing, which includes reasoning, planning, inference and search, (b) evolutionary studies in the newly emerging paradigm of artificial life, (c) simulation studies of neural networks - both synthetic and neurally plausible - for modeling memory, learning, language and vision, (d) parallel algorithms for biological image processing, for example, the manipulation of MRI images, (e) research in the fundamental mathematics and logic of parallel computation, such as the development of parallel programming language semantics, and (f) the use of parallel algorithms for scientific computing. This award will support the activities of an interdisciplinary team of researchers in terms of maintenance of the Conneciton Machine of the UCLA Cognitive Science Research Program. The research resulting from this award will be in cognitive sciences and in the development of parallel computation.
