Introduction to Volume 5, Issue 3 of topiCS

摘要

This issue of topiCS is dedicated to "Computational Models of Natural Language." The short introduction by Topic Editors John Hale (Cornell) and David Reitter (PSU) is enticing and I urge those of you who, like me, do not do research in language to take a few minutes to read it through. You might pause at their figure 1, which shows "thematic overlap" among the papers of this topic. Some of these overlaps, such as "eye movements," "cognitive architecture," "working memory," and "connectionism," are core topics in cognitive science, suggesting that the theoretical and methodological issues discussed in these papers may be relevant to a broad range of cognitive scientists.
