Deb Roy
Deb Roy, invited as a member of the "AAC- Austrian Academy Corpus"
Scientific Advisory Board, is an Assistant Professor at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. In his presentation Deb Roy will deal with current
research done at the "MIT Media Lab". Abstract: "Computers don't grasp
meaning in any deep, human sense. From a computer's point of view, words
are meaningless bits of information to be processed with speed and
precision, but without any genuine interpretation of content. We envision a
new class of machines that understand the meaning of information in more
human-like ways by grounding knowledge in the physical world and in the
machines' own goals. This approach is being applied to develop multimodal
human-machine interfaces and tools for situated language analysis."
