[CogSci] International Conference on Error-Driven Learning in Language (EDLL 2021)

[Jessie Nixon]

Dear colleagues,

we're inviting submissions for the International Conference on  
Error-Driven Learning in Language (EDLL 2021).
Please see details below.


Date: 10-Mar-2021 - 12-Mar-2021
Location: Online /Tübingen, Germany
Meeting URL: https://quantling.org/EDLL2021/


Meeting Description:

International Conference on Error-Driven Learning in Language (EDLL 2021).

Error-driven learning models, such as Rescorla and Wagner (1972) and  
Widrow and Hoff (1960) have had a major influence on many areas of  
psychology related to human and animal learning. However, research on  
language learning took a separate path for a long time. Recently,  
insights from error-driven learning have begun to be applied to a  
broad range of language phenomena with very promising results. For  
example, error-driven learning models have addressed questions  
relating to reading, spoken word comprehension, colour and number  
acquisition, word learning, first and second language speech sound  
acquisition, morphological processing, sentence processing, neural  
correlates of prediction error and more.

The International Conference on Error-Driven Learning in Language  
(EDLL 2021) aims to bring together researchers interested in  
error-driven learning in speech and language. The conference will be  
held online 10-12 March, 2021.


Call for Papers:

We are inviting experimental, computational or theoretical abstracts  
on any topic in error-driven learning of speech or language. Suitable  
topics include but are not limited to:
The role of error in
- first and second language acquisition
- learning or processing phonetic, morphological, syntactical or  
lexical information
- sentence processing, syntax and grammar acquisition and processing
as well as
- neural processing of error feedback during speech and language  
comprehension, production or learning
- the relationship between error-driven learning and information theory
- comparison of error-driven learning with different learning models  
such as Hebbian learning, statistical learning, Bayesian learning,  
distributional learning.


Invited speakers:
We are pleased to announce that the following speakers have confirmed:
Prof Adele Goldberg, University of Princeton
Prof Randall O’Reilly, University of California, Davis
Dr Petar Milin, University of Birmingham


Important dates:
Abstracts due:  7 December, 2020
Notification of acceptance sent: 8 February, 2021
Conference: 10-12 March, 2021.
