The Center for Computational Language Sciences serves as a diverse hub of scholars dedicated to revolutionizing our understanding of language through groundbreaking computational research. The center aims to accelerate breakthroughs in speech and language sciences by bridging the gap between cutting-edge computational tools and deep insights into human cognition. Driven by a profound commitment to societal impact, CCLS envisions a future where language technologies transform lives, building bridges for those with visual, cognitive, or hearing impairments. The center’s interdisciplinary approach, drawing on experts from psychology, linguistics, computer science, sociology, philosophy and beyond, and its commitment to cutting-edge computational research offers unprecedented insights into language and, potentially, the very nature of human cognition, in addition to advancing human-inspired AI. This dynamic interplay will power the development of sophisticated language models while unlocking new theories about the neural basis of language.
