Hello all,

Don't forget about this Wednesday's LingCircle: 11/18, 3:30 - 5:00 p.m.,
Hellems 81.

Come to the final exciting even of the semester (yes, it's almost that
time!)

Darrell Laham, who works closely with Dr. Tom Landauer, will be presenting
on Latent Semantic Analysis.  Come find out about it, and share some great
snacks with your peers.


SALSA: Science and Applications of Latent Semantic Analysis
"Some like it hot"

In this presentation Darrell will introduce Latent Semantic Analysis as:
1) a theory of the acquisition, induction, and representation of
knowledge, 2) a system for computational modeling of cognitive processes,
and 3) an Artificial Intelligence system used in educational and
industrial applications.

Using mathematical and statistical analyses of large text corpora, LSA
models have mimicked human response data in a number of areas.  I will
review some of these models and discuss LSA's claims and its limitations.  I
will also present the applications and demonstrations available at the SALSA
lab's website http://LSA.Colorado.edu/
