The research of this group covers theoretical approaches and computational modelling of crucial phenomena in cognitive science, primarily related to language acquisition and processing. The learning methods focus on neural networks applied to various language subtasks (grammar learning, or lexical/sentence semantics), as well as a general adaptive method based on distinguishing criteria. Recent research goals include linking language learning with cognitive robotics. Seminar schedule is shown here.

Group members and their research focus

  • Igor Farkaš - connectionist modeling of language learning, self-organization, neurorobotics
  • Martin Takáč - cognitive semantics and knowledge representation, computational models of language emergence and language acquisition
  • Ján Švantner (PhD student) - grammar learning with echo-state neural networks, sentence comprehension in visual world paradigm
  • Michal Malý (PhD student) - intelligent agent design based on reinforcement learning
  • Dana Retová (PhD student) - cognitive semantics
  • Vladimír Chudý (PhD student) - human perception motivated speech recognition using neural networks
