Lab Meeting, Spring 2015, Week 15

Awe- and Aw-inspiring readings (or just stuff you think deserves a mention)

What we did over last week

Florian

1. Finished editing revisions and letter to the editor for Tal Linzen's paper on uncertainty in sentence processing. We ended up doing a lot of work in redoing the model and analyses (Tal) and in rewriting the intro and discussion (both of us).

2. Finished revisions of Masha's paper (with Lissa and me) on how artificial language learning data can complement typological research. The paper was mostly done and only needed some minor edits.

3. Finished revisions of Masha's paper on case-marking vs. word order as means of marking grammatical function assignment. I made a couple of larger last minute revisions, but we're almost there (fingers crossed).
4. Started editing the paper with Bozena, Alex, and Dave on multilingualism as probabilistic inference.
5. Kept working on paper with Dan Gildea (information density and dependency length, creating new graphs)
6. Wrote an outline for possible commentary on BBS paper by Christiansen and Chater with Klinton and Mike T.

Chigusa

Andrew

1. Modifications to experiment running stuff for Scott's new experiments
2. Put 3 new experiments on MTurk for Scott

Olga

2. Tutorial
3. Hired an RA. Figuring out if another one is staying for the summer or not.
