Séminaire Marco Cappellini

Chers collègues,

dans le cadre des jeudis du SUPFLES coordonnés par le SUFLE et le département de didactique du FLE (ALLSH),  Marco Cappellini  fera une conférence ce jeudi 16 décembre de 17h30 à 18h30 inscrite dans la thématique de "L'apprenant acteur de son apprentissage",

Pour des raisons sanitaires, la conférence aura lieu totalement à distance.

Titre de la conférence : "Ce que l'autonomie peut apporter à la citoyenneté numérique. Une proposition de matrice de séquences pédagogiques"

Résumé :
Dans cette contribution, je propose de lier le champ de l’éducation à la citoyenneté numérique au paradigme de l’autonomie. Dans la première partie, en partant du constat d’usages de technologies numériques problématiques pour une citoyenneté numérique, la conférence propose une réponse éducative articulant des pédagogies actives existantes dans un cadre d’autonomisation basé sur le socio-constructivisme et l’apprentissage expérientiel. Dans la deuxième partie, la conférence propose un exemple de séquence pédagogique pour l'autonomisation et la citoyenneté numérique concernant la question de l’économie de l’attention et aboutit à une schématisation de l’approche proposée.

Certains collègues se sont déjà inscrits, vous pouvez encore le faire via ce lien et à nous rejoindre en ligne

En préparation à la conférence de jeudi, vous êtes invités à visionner les minutes 00-4:41 de la vidéo à cette page.

Merci pour votre participation
Catherine David et Amélie Leconte

Studying constraints on language change: a synchronic approach

 

Résumé :

Languages evolve under a large swath of different pressures, but biases in the ways languages are learned and transmitted can explain why certain patterns are so recurrent cross-linguistically.  In this talk, I will present experimental evidence attempting to shed light on the underpinnings of a couple of cross-linguistic regularities.  Specifically, I will review a project on learning biases favouring phonetically-motivated (aka “natural”) rules, focussing on the typologically frequent rule of vowel harmony compared to the formally similar but unattested rule of vowel disharmony (Martin & Peperkamp, 2020; Martin & White, 2021).  I will then discuss the so-called suffixing preference and show evidence that typological regularities may not always find their basis in cognitive constraints (Martin & Culbertson, 2020).  I will then turn to a project looking at the link between individual-level perception and production in language contact by considering the emergence of the phoneme /g/ in European Dutch (Martin et al., in revision) and propose how the methodology used in that project can be expanded to study the time course of contact-induced change.  I will briefly sum up by proposing a dual approach to the study of mechanisms underlying language change that considers biases situated both in the individual and in interaction.

 

Séminaire Hyong Sil Cho

Hyong Sil CHO (Speech into Language and Data) présentera le 29 novembre prochain de 12h à 14h en salle B011 un séminaire au thème de "Linguistic knowledge in voice assistant technology", suivi d’un temps de discussion autour des perspectives professionnelles dans l'industrie.

Ce séminaire est ouvert à toutes et tous et s’adresse particulièrement aux étudiant.e.s en Master (SCL, MASCO ..), doctorant.e.s et post-doctorant.e.s. (LPL/AMU, Projet COBRA..).

Abstract

Today, most electronic devices are equipped with voice assistant. Smart phones understand our speech and cars speak to us in charming human voices. The general algorithm of such a technology works generally through the steps below:

In order to make the whole process successful, contribution of highly qualified linguists is essential. For example, expertise in phonetics and phonology of a particular language is crucial for building a high-quality acoustic model of the language. In the same way, it would be extremely difficult to create any decent semantic model of a language without qualified knowledge in morpho-syntax and semantics of the language.

In this lecture, the basic mechanism of voice assistant technology and the contribution of linguists to the technology will be illustrated with appropriate examples. In addition to the linguistic knowledge, we will also discuss various other qualities of a competent language expert in the field of speech technology.

 

 Short Bio

Hyong Sil CHO holds a PhD in Linguistics – specialized in phonetics under the supervision of Daniel Hirst at the LPL – and an MBA (in big data and business analytics). She is an Σ!Eureka Independent Technical Expert and member of The European AI Alliance.

Born in Korea, she has studied in France and worked in Belgium, Portugal, China and Germany. After her nomadic life, she is now living in The Netherlands but still works with teams in various countries.

Since 1999, she has contributed to a number of projects in language and speech technology, such as electronic dictionary edition and various R&D in speech synthesis and automatic speech recognition. In 2004, she has started her experience in TTS technology in Scansoft Belgium. In 2008 she joined Microsoft Language Development Centre as language expert of French and Korean, where she has been a Language Experts Team Project Manager for lexicon projects from Sep. 2011 to Sep. 2016.

In October 2016, she opened a company named SiLnD (Speech into Language and Data). Since its opening, SiLnD has been working with world leading companies in information technology, car/automotive industry and artificial intelligence.
