This course offers a cutting-edge exploration of how meaning is computed and represented in both artificial and biological systems, bridging the fields of natural language processing (NLP) and neuroscience.
We delve into the transformative role of transformer architectures in modern NLP, the evolution of lexical semantics in this new era, and how the human brain encodes and processes language meaning. Through an interdisciplinary lens, the course highlights the cross-fertilization between neuroscience and NLP, demonstrating how insights from one field can enhance understanding and innovation in the other.
