Meeting Description:
This 1-day tutorial focuses on the theory and practice of computational modeling
of human speech perception. Models allow concrete tests of theories which are
crucial for complex domains such as speech perception. Attendees will be
introduced to modeling theory and practice through hands-on exercises beginning
with a selection of important findings in speech perception and spoken word
recognition and progressing to independent mini-projects. Attendees will learn
to use a recently developed program that allows average computer users to
conduct sophisticated perceptual simulations. This program, called jTRACE, is
based on the highly influential TRACE model (James McClelland & Jeffrey Elman),
which implements many of the basic assumptions of models of speech processing.

Who should attend?
Psycholinguists who want to learn to do their own TRACE simulations.
Psychologists interested in models of language, in particular phonemes and
words. Linguists curious about psycholinguistic theories. Neuroscientists
interested in neurally inspired models of speech processing.
