Emergence of Linguistic and Cognitive Features and Structures

The research on emergent linguistic and cognitive representations enables computers to deal with semantics: to process data having certain access to its meaning within multimodal contexts. We deal with the analysis and generation of conceptual structures and complex meanings.

The emergence of representations can be considered to consist of the following interrelated tasks: the discovery of (1) elements of representation (e.g. words, morphemes, phonemes), (2) their meaning relations (syntax and semantics), and (3) structures or ``rules'' of their use in natural utterances (syntax and pragmatics).
